> First I must begin by thanking Sam.
> Tess let me read the email you sent her concerning this recent episode, and I must say thank you. Thank you for being such an amazing person and for caring so much about her. There are very few people I have met who are such kind, wise, and caring people. For all others reading this; You are very lucky to have Sam here. I hope that everyone else here knows what you are really worth.

Yeah, we do. Sam is the wind beneath our wings.

> Next, I must thank everyone else here who has ever chatted with me, or posted to one of my comments, or anything else. It is so amazing to find such a collection of great people in an online community; especially one as close-knitt as this one. In the meager 18 years of my life, I have found that truly lifelong friends are very hard to come by, and even with my limmited experience here, I already know that there is an amazing amount of them here. Thankyou all for being the kind of people who watch each other's backs, and support each other when it's needed. This place is astounding, and I hope I never have to leave.

There's something magical about this place - while every other community on the web dissolves into flames and factions about three minutes after it comes into existance, Rinkworks is populated by intelligent, tolerant people that I am proud to call my friends. Whereas, the people I know RL, I'm ashamed to call my friends.

> Once again, Thank you all.
> Your fellow Rinkie,
