    Few people ever read stickies, but they are there to direct folks to for a reason. I just try to remember that used to be me. It's still a bit much for a little bit. But y'know, planting seeds. :wink:

    See, I read the stickies before I started posting. Figured they were there for a reason and all that.

    I search past posts before I post a new thread. I know I'm a weirdo and I'm proud of it!

    I read stickies too. Hell I read EVERYTHING all of the times.

    And I don’t think I’ve seen but a few Thank You threads outside of success stories. Figured it was due.

    Nope, that definitely wasn't aimed at you or this thread! Actually, it was in my head because earlier this morning I thought about posting a question in the fitness forum about what shoes to use for circuit training, then I searched and found several on-point threads so I didn't.

    I didn’t think it was aimed at me, my pal. :)

    And you’re welcome TackleWasher, it’s turning out better than I expected. :)

    It makes me cringe, too, to see arrogant theorists insult experienced MFP-ers who I know to be actual scientists in relevant fields...

    Pffff....that never happens.

    What amazes me is the patience of some of the long time posters who continually repeat the same things in different threads, all while being far more level headed than I can be.

    There are a lot of them but I'm specifically thinking about @Aaron_K123

    And I do like that mis-information gets called out very quickly here. When first starting, I was worried this site would just repeat Dr. Oz or Oprah and was very happy to see it is much more science based.

    For the most part, I like it here. Just dreading Jan 1 again. :)

    Well dang...thank you, that means a lot. The secret to level headed posts is walking away before you lose your cool. I try, but id be lying if i said i hadn't lost it on someone here before lol.

    I'm deeply grateful that people like you, @Aaron_K123, soldier on patiently (mostly ;) ), sharing true knowledge and expertise in your field. Also people like @Azdak, @heybales, @ninerbuff, @SideSteel, @Nony_Mouse, @tomteboda, @CSARdiver - and so many others I'm forgetting - who have deep knowledge in particular domains, and generously/patiently share it here. I've learned so much, and benefitted immeasurably.

    Aw, thank you Ann :). I am likewise deeply grateful for you.

    Wow this is GREAT, I thought it was just ME stalking the forums and liking the smart posts that make rational sense and admiring the persistent posters that show up and tell the (unpopular, sometimes unpleasant) truth on here. I see names and profile pics above of some people who have helped me a ton, all without knowing I even exist :)

    Love this gratitude thread, and piling on with thanks!
