A Deep "Thank You" To All.


I, of course, am a Linux user. I have been using Linux since 1995, and Linux EXCLUSIVELY since 2005. And I will NEVER use a Microsoft product, nor an Apple product.

Then I had a stroke in 2011.

My values are still intact, and I will never use a Microsoft/Apple product. I am a Debian user, and I use the Testing branch. But it is sometimes difficult for me to use Linux/Debian effectively since I had always imagined, prior to my stroke, I would actually remember everything. And I now actually NEED this forum because my short-term/working memory is BROKEN.

And for the help I have gotten from this wonderful forum, I am deeply thankful that you exist.

Thank you all, you are wonderful people, and I love you people, in a non-creepy masculine sort of way.

If it's any comfort, we have other well-respected members who have memory problems. There are usually workarounds.

Always glad to help, if I can, glad that you are still able to use your computers effectively after your stroke.

Hey, Kevin...

Hang tough, buddy!

I've been around LQ.org for 14 years, even though my post count doesn't show it. I visit here on a regular basis. I find it interesting, educational, informative, etc. I commend Jeremy, all the Mods, and the many, many contributors here who really know their shit!

All these things make this place one of the absolute best for experienced, not-so-experienced, and absolute newbies to come and interact and resolve issues, learn something, help others. I hope LQ.org stays around for a long, long time.

Regards,

~Eric

OP, i think you put into words the sentiments of many of us who came here because of a Linux Question and stayed because of the community.

Best wishes.
