A word of Appreciation and Gratitude

[Jimsky]

We all probably say 'thank you' at least 10 times a day (quite rightly, just as our mothers taught us!). Expressing words of thanks is not only good manners but the right thing to do. It validates the actions of the person that helped you. The world is a better place because there is always someone out there helping others.
Today I want to appreciate Tobias @Tobias to help me obtain the part used for my Proxxon MF70.
Stephan @Steef66 found this part in the German internet store, but sadly, after communication with the store, we found that they will not ship to the USA. Here comes Tobias and said: "Jim, don't worry, I will buy and ship it for you." Shure enough, today, I have my package delivered. Whan wonderful members surround us.

Many thanks, both Tobias and Stephan! I cannot thank you enough! BTW, I already installed it and absolutely love it. Tests to follow

I'm a little touched now Jim at your words, as long as I can help I'm happy to do so.

Most of us never met personally, 99,9% of our members know other members only via words in posts or PMs
but when we talk here in the forum about friends, these are no blank words - we are friends and friends are helping each other
And for friends there are no borders existing....
Many Thanks to Stephan and Tobias

Thanks Jim for the kind words. This is what I think this forum is for. To help each other in this wonderful hobby. With tips, directions, sometimes criticism and, if possible, a helping hand. Nice that Tobias has done this for you. That is to his credit. But I think this is also due to the proverb: He who does good, meets good.

This is exactly why I love SoS!

For all of my 50+ years of working, I was fixing (repairing/calibrating/maintenance) things. During the first several years I came to realize that those things were not my driving force. My actual driving force was the fact that whenever I fixed some thing I was helping a person(s). I retired several years ago, but I still do my best to keep helping others. Many thanks to all the helpers that are found at SOS.
Happy Modelling.

I was a mechanical design engineer. I designed process plant, but I was lucky enough to work for a company that had its own fitters, pipe fitters, sheet metal workers, electricians and turners. I'm a biker. I was 'teased' by the 'manual' engineers for a time, but in the end I was welcomed by most of them. The reason? I wasn't a stuck-up degree level engineer. I listened to them. Heck, I even covered for them if they made mistakes from my drawings. Likewise, they covered for me when I made the odd mistakes... and I did.

My favourite job was to design an effluent treatment plant that helped to save the sea life in the neighbouring Solway Firth in Cumbria. I couldn't have done it so well without everything I'd learned from the people I've mentioned.

I suppose what I'm saying is that I echo your thanks to people on this site. Nobody ever knows everything... not even me! (joking)
