As children we are all taught to say thank you, excuse me, and please. We sometimes forget these simple courtesies as we get older. It gives me a warm feeling that one of the most common themes on the board are expression of appreciation. But I have an idea to take it one step further:

This is not a contest, you won't win anythig other than a good feeling.

Take a moment to thank somebody who has helped you in the hobby. Maybe they gave you a chip you had been searching for, maybe they answered a query here on the board. I would like to see everybody type in a thank you and the person (ex. Thank You bubba) in the subject line. Then in the post tell us how this person helped you. I would like to see everyone participate, treat it like a Chicago Election, participate more than once. Lets see how many different people we can appreciate, try to think of folks who aren't already listed.

A little good will goes a long way, and there is so much more to this hobby and the collector, let's share it for the world to see.
