Well I've only been here a week or so, but I'm already moving up in the ranks, so I must like the place... :D :D :D

No... seriously. I REALLY appreciate this forum and I want to make a point of letting everybody who is involved in its creation, upkeep, and participation know that. This is EXACTLY what I went searching for online...

The people are fantastic, friendly, funny, helpful, creative, and knowledgeable.

The subject matter is exactly the things I wrestle with every day.

Already I wonder how I ever had any self esteem before coming here...

So to make a long story short, yeah I know 'too late'... thanks for all your hard work.

It's appreciated more than you know.

:cool:

I would like to wholeheartedly second this. You're a fantastic group of people. I am delighted to be part of it.

I have refrained from contributing extensively till now, but once I get my PC at home up and running again, I might be more active, though I don't suppose I'll ever be as prolific as Joan, say, or as intensive as you, Paul.

Ditto on the above! :D These Forums are truly a blessing!

Paul: VERY KIND WORDS....and I mean VERY KIND WORDS:).....but/and YOU (and all the other members) makes forums what it is....so thanks for coming on every day and participating fully and contributing and asking questions and providing feedback....because that's really what keeps this thing running.....Paul -- you have a unique and wonderful style of expressing yourself by the way.....I do hope you go far in your career as a writer/author....:)

Jonathan: I've been called a lot of things....prolific is not one of them....thanks for that kind compliment....:)

Smooch: YOU are a blessing....:)
