So.... Remember that you were helped when you needed it, and pass that along to the next guys that need help. By being mentored, we allow ourselves to become mentors. By mentoring, we ensure that the next in line can become the next mentors. As the old saying goes: Sh*t flows downhill. Well, so does knowledge, and we are all on the slope. And I don't care how long you have been around, how many posts you have, how many folks you have helped, there is always something new to be learned, and sometimes it's the rookies who are doing the teaching.
It never hurts to listen, and it never hurts to be heard. By doing both, everyone benefits.
If it had not been for this site, the last 1 1/2 years of my life would have been spent still hating to shave. Without all these guys here, encouraging me, mentoring me and always offering to help, I wouldn't be in the position to help others I am today.
I feel lucky as hell to have found this site, lucky as hell for the friends that I have made here. We are fortunate to belong to a group with likes and interests shared. Count our blessings and 'pass it on'.
Great thread, thanks to the OP for starting it.
Best wishes!!!
M-- Any day I get out of bed, and the first thing out of my mouth is not a groan, that's going to be a good day --

Kudos here also!
I had a question for one of my friends who keep this site running like a Swiss Watch and I'd sent him an email with the question. He shot back a quick reply telling me that he'd get back to me as 'we' are trying to get this update to SRP done! I took a look at the clock and it was about 2am where he is and it was a work day the next day for him!!
I also had a newbie email me complaining that he was having trouble getting on at SRP. I told him that they were having some problems and just give it some time as the site is run by volunteers! He emailed back apologizing!!
I thank all involved!

Thanked: 33I have been a member of many forums. This, by far, is the pinnacle. Thank you to all who have helped me and who have helped others. The PIF midset of the people here really impresses me and I strive to do my best to emulate and respond in kind.
To the OP, thank you for taking the time to give the thanks... While I see it every once in a while in random threads, thanking someone specific, this is a great way to offer the Old Guard their due! Kudos and my hats off to you sir as well as all of those who set up this terrific welcoming atmosphere of gentlemanly honour! I am so glad to have stumbled upon this site!
