A very sincere thank you

#1

Post by Evil D »

I'm not very good at showing my thanks, and I'm honestly not even sure what I've done to receive such an awesome gift, but it's one that I'll cherish. I've been meaning to pick up a SE Shaman anyway so this will do nicely :D

Thank you Sal, I promise to put it to good use.

You deserve it. You are always on the quest to understand the edge and you share what you learn. Sharing knowledge is one of the highest forms of generosity. Your thread about optimizing the performance of spyderedges is very valuable.

You are also always very honest and share your genuine opinions and you do it in a respectful and constructive manner. You are an asset to this community in my opinion.

Enjoy!

Congrats, David!

It has always been a pleasure to read your contributions and I suppose there is no better way to recognize the value you bring. Sal is an incredible guy too.
