He has been so helpful in the forums, helping out members with great suggestions, fixes and hacks.
As far as I'm concerned, that's the goal of these forums and of this community. It's one of the few that actually achieves that goal with respect and humor, and then goes the extra mile to recognize the contributions by its members. So thank YOU.
@Gina

@Timothy

@Hakan

I believe that the end-goal of investing several hours of labor is not to hoard the results and deprive others of the benefits. Rather, the return on the investment is greatly enhanced when others can also reap the rewards. Think "Pay it Forward"... a magnificent film that illustrates this very thing.
@Joe

@pcwriter Congratulations on your lifetime status! I hope to someday achieve the same status of greatness. Your book is very captivating and I look forward to finish it soon. Normally a book like this I'd have a hard time putting it down. However the surgery had really wiped me out. Congratulations Again and keep up the great work!

Thank you very much for the warm words about my book! Writing that memoir a few years after 9½ months of addiction therapy was a cathartic experience to say the least. Although self-published and available since 2007, financial limitations had prevented me from making any investment in promotion or marketing. With the help of Joe and his firm however, that may all change by this time next year! So, a big thanks goes out to Joe here for this post: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/looking-for-wordpress-authors-book-ideas#post-194431
And thanks to everyone for comments about sharing and the lifetime membership! Some 30 years ago, I adopted a simple philosophy about sharing that my father had engraved on a plaque when he wedded my step-mother (freely adapted from an american-indian saying):
"Shared grief is halved grief; shared joy is doubled joy."

@pcwriter - It is good to share your eaperiences when you have come out the other side in one piece.
I used to talk with youth groups about my experiences, though I was lucky to never have been involved with addictive substances, unless you include fags (or cigarettes before anybody complains). I was living on the streets at 16 and managed to turn my life around. I often use this simple example when people tell me they are in a rut they cannot get out of:
At 16 I was living on the streets - at 39 I was running in the Parliamentary elections (and didn't come last). There is always a way out, but that always means a first step and, often, a helping hand from somebody.

points take awhile to accumulate if you want points. If you just help out as often as possible and seriously solve some big issues for folks you will find they drop some big number points on you.
