I hope this thread reminds everyone reading that none of the insults, staged conflicts, grandstanding, empty flattery, or desperate attention seeking people so often adopt to make their online existence meaningful can compare to the intrinsic reward we get when we interact in supportive and collaborative ways - when we all walk away feeling better for the experience.  That's when we can really feel like we're a part of something larger, that we're all enhanced and strengthened by working together toward common goals.  I'm so glad to see that you value the concept of community just as much as I do - and to see you back on NikeTalk.  That's something that even Yuku can't counterfeit.  

Today, your act of kindness raised my spirits and I sincerely hope that our fellow members are inspired by your example.  

Much respect.

You have no idea how much I needed this today.  Seriously.  



I think, in truth, all of us (or, at least, all of us with an ounce of sincerity), can see that your success had virtually nothing to do with me and everything to do with your talent and drive.  The willingness to reach out to others for their input and assistance is, itself, a rare and essential skill.  Most people, unfortunately, would not have the courage or the motivation to sincerely ask for advice, even in a peer setting like ours.  If anything, that, and not I, played an important role in enabling your well-deserved success.  

You were in a tough spot and that's when your character is truly tested, not during moments of relative comfort.  The results have only validated the resilience and resolve that so impressed me all those years ago.  

I appreciate the kind, generous words and I'm truly heartened to learn that all of your perseverance has paid off.  That's honestly made my day.
