The " THANKS !" Thread

Someone help you out with that problem that had been eating your head all weekend ? Have you had a great discussion that you are thankful for ? Did that post on XYZ answer questions you've been to embarrassed to ask all your life ? Find some member's posts generally informative ?

Here's where you show your thanks.

 

[Gokul43201]

I'd like to thank Zz for useful discussions and valuable references in Condensed Matter.

And I'd like to thank arildno, for catching my attention when I first visited PF ! I'm glad I stuck around.

Seconded. I also love it when he grinds crackpots to pieces.

 

[honestrosewater]

Hurkyl, hypnagogue, loseyourname, and matt grime spring immediately to mind as people who have repeatedly been a great help to me personally. I also enjoy reading posts by and have learned a lot from (in no particular order) HallsofIvy, AKG, mathwonk, SelfAdjoint, Tom Mattson, Canute, Les Sleeth, saltydog, and I'll surely think of others...

 

[dextercioby]

Is the forum going to be wiped out and at the end we thank everyone who's helped us through the years...?

Greg,have mercy !

Daniel.

P.S.(as an edit):Why's everyone acting as if the end of world is scheduled for tomorrow (see the latest 3 threads in this (sub)forum)...? Do you people know something i don't...?

P.P.S.You're welcome,Arildno...Are u leaving us...?

 

[arildno]

And a big hearty thanks to dextercioby aka Daniel!

 

[Joel]

I want to thank Moonbear for her advice and encouragement before I had to keep a talk.

@ Dex

 

[arildno]

And I'd like to thank arildno, for catching my attention when I first visited PF ! I'm glad I stuck around.

Oh, I have to thank myself then for getting a great Super Mentor to hang around at PF!
Thanks, arildno!

 

[marlon]

I learned the most from Vanesch, Tom, DrCinese, SelfAdjoint and marcus

marlon

 

[marlon]

i also want to thank Karen, the future mechanical engineer for being so beautiful

[quantumdude]

It's tough to name just one person. One thing I can tell you is that PF has only gotten better over the years, and it's because of you people. When PF was in its infancy I would have ranked myself among the top 5 members as far as physics knowledge goes, and now I find myself in the middle of the pack (Glad I got my Mentorship way back then! ). But I'm working every day to move back to the front of the room .

Thanks to everyone who has taught me and whom I have taught, because both are learning experiences for me!

*big group hug*

 

[brewnog]

I'll thank Clausius for being the thermo daddy. Without him, 2 years of thermodynamics lectures would have left me completely bewildered. As it stands, I'm only moderately bewildered.

Also to PerennialIII and Astronuc, for FEA help.

And also to Moonbear, for plastering my CV with corrections.

 

[Astronuc]

I would have to thank the Greg, Warren, the SuperMentors, everyone who posted so far, everyone mentioned so far, for great questions and great answers, and the opportunity to share and expand the knowledge.

PF is definitely a great place to be.

 

[chroot]

And I, in turn, would like to give thanks to Astronuc's improbably full beard.

- Warren

 

[Pyrrhus]

I will like to thank Arildno, Mathwonk, HallsofIvy and Matt Grime, because by reading their answers I've cleared myself of plenty unprecise definitions i had in the beautiful science we know as mathematics

 

[Mariko]

I would like to thank Space Tiger for taking time and thought to explain every question he answers in a way that is understandable, enlightening and enjoyable to read.
Thx Nick oh and ill add to that Id like to thank him for being such a hottie too ! :!)

 

[Chi Meson]

Big Kudos to Krab and ZapperZ specifically for the clean, clear language used in their explanations.

 

[marlon]

Big Kudos to Krab

Seconded, i forget to add his name to my list of people from whom i learned the most. I should also thank Spacetiger for explaining the CMB to me in such a great way

regards

marlon

 

[Bladibla]

I'd like to thank Astronuc in his show of prolific manliness. Seriously, just a skull and crossbones hat and a hook and you're all the way there!

respect!

 

[Clausius2]

.

That has made me to smile .

I have to acknowledge those who have helped me when I posted some question or doubt. You know, there is always some group of friends here who always try to do their best helping you.

It is worth to mention Astronuc, Marlon, Arildno, Brewnog, Minger, Daniel, Enigma, Russ, Integral, Doc Al, Morbius, PerenialII, QGoest, and a lot of people just now I don't remember.

And it is worth to mention also those who have adviced me about extra-academic issues: Moonbear, Astronuc, Arildno, Marlon, Daniel, Tsu, Gokul... and in general all the community of the PF General Discussion.

I must congratulate PF administrators for keeping on sustaining this forum.

Gracias, amigos.

 

[arildno]

I'd like to thank Astronuc in his show of prolific manliness.

 

[dextercioby]

He wrote "manliness",why were you thinking of some other word (ending in "hood")...?

Daniel.

 

[z-component]

I'd like to thank Greg for starting PhysicsForums in the first place. I've yet to see a more diverse and educational atmosphere that is comprised of such intelligent people. This place has been giving me something to take part in for six months now, and I still look forward to reading and posting every day I can. I hope PF will be around for years to come.

This toast's to you, Greg! Thank you.

 

[whozum]

I actually want to thank chroot for slapping me into place when I was meddling in places I shouldn't have been. Thanks man. I've learned a lot from this site.

Glad to hear you didn't take it too personally! Goodness knows I've been put in my place more times than I can count on this very forum. Knowing the limits of one's knowledge might be more important than the knowledge itself. I'm glad you stuck around!

- Warren

 

[Bladibla]

Oh you don't the story behind it. He (astronuc) thinks its normal with just having shorts on at temperatures of -20.

That is true toughness shown.

 

[Sadmemo]

Thank you all people who supported so far...
Don't ever misunderstand me. That I believe should be the only way to help you get more rates and keep things in normal orbits . This way of saying thanks to helpful people is great, I think...

 

[arildno]

That's not impressive. I'm a Norwegian.

 

[marlon]

the coolest member of this forum is DANGER. the biggest ******* on this forum is...er well, let us not go into that ? How about a most unpopular/biggest jerk member thanks-thread or poll ?

marlon

 

[dextercioby]

Marlon,what's with this rant,did u get the warning ??



We've always gotten along just fine.

Daniel.

[heman]

I would like to thanks especially Matt Grime ,Astronuc ,Andrew Mason,HallsOfIvy,Moonbear and everybody else on this forum...
This site is a great learning experience and u ppls are just gr8 and very much devoted in helping ppls.

 

[Bladibla]

That's not impressive. I'm a Norwegian.

That's not impressive. Launch yourself to the heart of a star, come back unharmed, and then I'll respect you.

=)

 

[Danger]

I want to start by thanking Marlon for the overly generous compliment, as well as for the many incisive and detailed explanations that he has given to other people and I learned from as a side-effect, and for pointing this thread out to me in the first place.
Those that I correspond with on a regular basis in GD have become very valuable to me, both for instillation of new knowledge and for keeping my wits sharp to deal with them. Moonbear, SOS, Artman, Ivan, Hypatia, Huckleberry, Integral, MIH, Zooby, Astronuc, Icvotria, Dex, Ian, Arildno, Cronxeh, Doc Toxyn, Yomamma, the goddess Evo, Loseyourname, Fred Garvin...
Mostly, I guess, Brewnog for bringing me on board in the first place.
And thanks, Gokul, for not only the educational bits but for starting this thread.

If I've left anyone out (other than those that I left out deliberately), I'll come back and edit you in.

 

[brewnog]

In that case, I'd like to reciprocally thank Danger for being the little red guy with horns who sits on my shoulder all day long...

It's a foul task, not to be approached by an amateur.

 

[hypatia]

I'd like to thank the little people...umm do we have any little people here?

Yomamma must be the littlest. I don't think you can go much below unicellular and still be able to type.

 

[hypatia]

Just how he drags that little cell over the keyboards, I'll never know..

 

[Huckleberry]

I've heard that arildno is a hobbit. They are pretty little.

Yomamma must be the littlest. I don't think you can go much below unicellular and still be able to type.

Give him a lever long enough and he can depress the enter key.

I'd like to thank all the GD crowd. You know who you are.
I'd like to thank everyone for the fantastic humor here and for generally being patient with me. Thanks.

 

[Evo]

Us flipper feet need to stick together.

 

[Danger]

This should have been done in my first post, but I wasn't all there at the time. I want to thank the goddess Evo for the tremendous amount of time and effort that she puts into moderating General Discussion. That's where I spend 95% of my time, but I've snooped around a bit and spend another 4.9% in GP. From what I've seen, she probably has the hardest job of any of the moderators, from the sheer volume of posts as well as the totally random content thereof. You're doing a great job, girl.

 

[Evo]

Thanks Danger, but skimming through a bunch of (mostly) humorous posts can't compare with the thought, consideration and knowledge that has to go into every post read in the other forums. The other mentors actually have to know what they're doing.

Oh, but you are wrong, Moosebreath (remember Carson?). Granted that they have to be on the alert to shut down quacks (although they seem to have missed me), but that's still in a regulated environment. You have to deal with total fruit-loop approaches to every subject under the sun, as well as some that will never see daylight. You are as much as anything a counsellor. When one (or more) of us screws up, you mediate. I have the utmost respect for Doc Al, Herkyl, and the rest, but they don't have to deal with the likes of me, BT, etc.. on a continuous basis. You have the ****ty end of the stick, and you handle it very well.

 

[Huckleberry]

Don't forget me. I'm part of the etc. and spend 90%+ of my time in GD. Big shout out for Evo here!

 

[Moonbear]

Well, I'll just say thanks! If I start listing people, it'll take up a whole page and I'm probably going to wind up missing someone in the list, and then their feelings will be hurt, so there you have it. Thanks to you all...

to those in the GD funny farm...
to those over in the bio forum who help keep me on my toes...
to the engineering folks who have good tolerances for my ribbing...
to the math folks who patiently put up with my occassional "Go easy on me, I'm just a biologist" posts...
to the physicists with such magnetic personalities...
to all the students who give us a reason to be here...
to the philosophers who get us thinking and wondering...
to the astronomy and cosmology folks who are out of this world...
to the techies who get us out of trouble...
and to the skeptics who get us into trouble...
and even to the crackpots for providing much needed comic relief...
this place just wouldn't be the great place it is without you all!
Cheers folks!

Thank you Greg Bear for having helped me so far..
