There are more than a few PCF members who deserve to be thanked for what they contribute to the community, so I thought it would be a good idea to open a thread like this.
Please post any thanks you'd like to give or just a quick note about a positive interaction or helpful tip you received from another PCFer. It doesn't have to be some extended treatise, perhaps just a "Chicken Rob rocks - he helped me pick out a yo yo for my nephew. Thanks Rob!" If we all saw the many PMs that go on behind the scenes I think we'd have even more of an appreciation for how pleasant and helpful members can be here, so this might be a way of reminding us even when things get cantankerous in other threads.
I was prompted to start this one because of an extraordinarily thoughtful gesture by @PAZ. As some of you know, my stepdaughter recently had a health scare. Thankfully, it was resolved with the best possible news about a week ago and I emailed an update to those friends of mine from PCF who had been so kind as to ask how things were going. Naturally, as considerate as he is, Paul was among those asking after Casey.
Evidently remembering that I had mentioned how crazy Casey was for his cinnamon bread that I brought home from BBotB, PAZ put two loaves in the mail with a really sweet card wishing her well in her recovery. My wife was completely blown away that someone who had never met her or Casey could be so thoughtful and Casey was more than thrilled to get two full loaves of the best cinnamon bread on the planet.
I don't mean to embarrass PAZ with the praise, but it is certainly in his spirit that a thread like this should be started. And it could be worse - I almost started a "PAZ Appreciation" thread! I'm sure there would be plenty of posts in that thread alone, so let's remember that we have a ton of members who make the forum a positive and rewarding place to hang out.
I hope and expect to see lots of good things here.
@Tommy maybe we could sticky this if it gets enough participation?

] years ago. I was recovering at home and a small flat rate box showed up with this unmistakable handwriting and return address. Inside were 50 individually wrapped chips with a card letting me know he was thinking about me and wanted me to have a new chip to look forward to every morning as I recovered. And boy were there some beauties in there. I've sold some chips and sets that I never thought I would - but there is no way these are ever leaving my collection.
