This is a great place! Thanks, OSMO!

I don't know if this is really off-topic, but I just wanted to say what a great place the AnandTech Forums are!

I've never met such uniformly helpful people anywhere else on the web, and that's saying alot.

Just recently, I posted a WTB message for a lousy internal y splitter. I had called Radio Shack to see if they had them, and the guy I spoke to said they don't carry them. I figured there was about a 50% chance he didn't know what he was talking about, but I was too lazy to drive down there if someone would sell me a cable for a couple of bucks.

Anyway, I posted on the for sale forum, and got about a million messages that I could find what I needed at Radio Shack, or just about anywhere.

To my great embarassment, a senior member here, OSMO, even offered to put one in the envelope and mail it to me for free. While I realize that the postage was not much, and he may have had a surplus cable, he also didn't have to get up off of his butt to help me.

Thanks, Osmo!

I hope you PM him the link, so he can see what a nice thread you started about him. Some people rarely come into Off Topic from other boards. And yes, there are some really helpful people here, that I don't know what I would do without.

weshuang-

Thanks for the kind words! I receive endless amounts of information and support here, especially from my outstanding teammates on Team AnandTech in the Distributed Computing Forum (<--shameless plug) It is my pleasure to help out others when the opportunity presents itself, It's my chance to give a little back. I know that someday you'll have a chance to return the favor to someone else. Take care, I hope to see you around the forums,

Osmo.
