Hey Kyle. Just wanted to drop a comment to you saying that I love your work and love the Big Bald Broadcast.

This was written by yours truly back in 2003, when Kyle had the House of Bean Dip forum. Thought it would be nice to reprint it here, 'cause I believe we all still feel this way about our online friend, Kyle. :) HOBD Dedication: Kyle Hebert (Heart of a Child) There is a difference between Being childish, And being child-like. To be childish is to be Self-centered Unkind Wanting one's own way Regardless of who gets hurt Sadly, there are adults Who are childish Even sadder is the fact That there are children who are more grown-up than most adults But to be child-like is to be Innocent, not jaded, Loving and pure of heart, Willing to put out the extra effort To make another person happy There is a person who is the embodiment Of a child-like heart, Tempered with the maturity Of a wise adult. He has guts enough To put off adult affectations To play with kids, And to connect to young people. Even though he's a VA, I think perhaps his first love is for young people. He cares enough for them To provide them with a wholesome community Where we can all come together To laugh, To play, To make new friends, And to forget about the cares of daily life, If only for a little while. If it weren't for this child-like adult, We might not have had the chance To come together to build a community That is more than a forum for anime\manga: He has built an on-line family. Thank you, Kyle Hebert. March 28, 2003
