So this thread turned into a thread on being grateful. At least that is what I am gettin out of it. Im gratefule for the awesome knowledge on this site. I give thanks to all who helped. Also yes it is a website. Some of these "thanks" led people to being more proffitavle in real life. Which is a good reason to thank someone. So in fact i say these thanks do effect someone outside of this site. They may not have told someone they thanked a person on SMF. But i bet they told someone how much money they made with thier new found knowledge.
