Real life has claimed yet another fine mentor here at PF. This time it is the 6 year veteran vanesch. vanesch has helped anchor the Physics forums over that span. No doubt we will miss his expertise and humble nature! Thanks you vanesch! Hope you pop in and say hi often!

Furthermore, in a response to our busy expectations for the homework help sections this coming school season we are delighted to announce the promotion of Mark44. Surely this is little surprise, as Mark44 has been a leader in homework help forums for the past few years! Congrats!

I remember the time when you accidentally plugged the Mentors' toilet. It reeked for a whole week. Poor Vanadium had to keep crossing his legs so many times while waiting for the women's bathroom to be empty before he could use it.

There's a lot of things Greg doesn't mention that comes with the job. If he does, none of us would have accepted it.

Think of all the "fun surprises" in store for you!

I once gave a warning to a poster in a Homework Help thread for posting the solution to the OP's homework question. Turns out the poster *was* the OP. He was responding to my admonishment in Post #2 of his thread that he had to show his own work before we could help him. :blushing:
