Thanks Abel!

[Daniel Bates]

Thanks for creating this forum! I've been officially addicted for a long time now... A scant seven months ago, I was still a beginning photographer. Now, I'm on the verge of becoming a part-time professional (hopefully!) I would never have made it this far without TPF and the people on this forum.

I'd like to give special thanks to MyKey, Raymond, Holly, and Liz--you all have been great inspirations to me, and have helped me so much by answering my interminable questions! Thanks, you guys!

Also, thanks go out to Mike at HCE. This man is an enabler--I'm now addicted to camera bags, too.

And to MM: you helped me out when I was about to give up pursuing wedding photography. I owe you more than you could ever know... thanks!

Everyone: you all are what make this the best photography forum on the Internet. Keep it up!

--Daniel

This place certainly is a good place.

[Abel]

no problemo daniel... thanks for your contributions to the forum on a daily basis...

even though members rib Daniel from time to time about his high post count which i am sure is all in fun... but what you guys dont see is that Daniel catches about 90% of our SPAM related threads (ie. peddling medications etc) and other blantant rule violations that occur here on the forum and reports them to our moderator team so that we can nix them immediately...

Thanks again Daniel...

[Daniel Bates]

You're quite welcome, Abel... those dastardly spammers!

[LoungeLizard]

Abel, in looking at his post count, I think he should be banned for a while. I mean, he's about to pass me! Besides, he's too fast and I can never get a contact for medications...I mean, help a friend out here...

More like a post whore that just happens to be in the right place at the right itme
Even stranger is the fact that more of the spam occurs when he is most active
