I do not think that this is "corny" at all.
It IS something that I, and am sure many others, have learned since joining this Board. Do you ever notice that when you "thank a QP", they are humble about it?
Again it speaks volumes about these particulaer Men, and how "Special" of a soldier they really are!
So my Thanks are out to all You QP's as well...I have learned so much just being in Your company on this Board.

I have learned that your mind is your primary weapon, and unless one has something constructive to add STFU and LISTEN. Then too shall ye learn lads!

I will shut up now.

Enough of the apologies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had any QP's taken it as an insult we'd have let you know by now....... Trust me we're not that shy!!!!!!!

I have learned some new lessons and re-learned some old ones since the early days when a couple of us were trying to figure out how to keep from crashing the internet.
1. Don't ban the Team Sergeant - even joking around.
2. Good G2 can come from the most unlikely sources.
3. Being an admin is like having the Hammer of Thor.
4. None of us are as computer savvy as we think nor is the graphical interface as intuitive as they claim.
5. Dan is a genius.
6. AM's user name is actually a well-deserved title.
7. The Colonel Sir has time-delay ass-kicking powers, you won't even realize what happened until two days later walking down the street.
8. There are some good people on the internet - mostly members here.
9. Kyo has skills and the patience of Job.
10. There are a lot of freakin' lawyers in the world.
11. SF's future is in good hands.
12. Clever rarely is when not among peers.
13. Any Glock is better than any not.
14. My Brothers are loyal to a fault and as merciless as Leonidas when you step on your peepee - until they decide you've had enough.
15. Teammates are forever.
16. We know a little something about this shit. And we'll share it if you don't come late, last or light.
17. Good people have good friends.
18. There are a lot of stupid people on the internet.
19. KG thinks he writes like I talk. Damn yankee should be so lucky.
20. Never use a librarian as an example.

In my time here I've learned that:
1. Gray is a color that a some people here should strive to be, but never achieve. Mostly because thier ass is red from some Admin chewing on it.
2. And some people couldn't shut up if their lips were stapled shut.

You never have to take back anything you don't say. As Mark Twain said, "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."
As a side note, while you can admit nothing and deny everything, it is really hard to pull the Jedi mind trick after you have put it in writing on PS.com.

Something I learned on this board, NDD is not invincible, close, but not invincible- check out what our resident librarian did to him. Ouch. 
You may fire when ready, Griswold. It was nice knowing you all, NDD will be monkey stomping me a little later...
