1- LG, you have helped me personally by a tremendous amount. I was going through a very rough patch in life over the past couple of years and when I discovered this section of the TER boards, I started a few related (to me) topics and your input was truly balanced and very helpful, considering of the little info which I was prepared to provide on this forum.
2- Just as above was just one example, I have no doubt that there are hundreds if not thousands just like me, who have benefited from your knowledge, expertise, experience and advice.
3- You are the only moderator on TER (as far as I know) who has a visible professional profile. It is not difficult to research to see as to who you are in your professional life and as far as I am concerned, I think that it is very commendable of you to be a moderator for TER, knowing some of the risks that came with this moderating task. Above and over any monetary remuneration or compensation, your genuine desire to help and educate people plus your curiosity for further knowledge and information as related to the "Hobby" made us very lucky to have your wise counsel for all these years.
In closing, I really hope that you still drop in once in a while to check in on your "flock".
Best wishes, CS~
