Thank You on the Forum

<< < (7/7)

Kean:
It is kind of ironic that my post where I stated I don't care so much for the "Thanks" has received the most thanks of any post so far in this thread.

So thank you very much for that  :-DD

You should apply for a snowflake Co-Mod position on that forum.  :-+

CatalinaWOW:
Even this, one of the best forums I have encountered demonstrates that communication over the internet is not nearly as rich or nuanced as face to face interactions.  I have been less diligent than I probably should in thanking those who have helped me, with an actual sentence or two in a post.  And I share with many others a wish that many folks would follow up with a report on how the suggestions provided worked out for the original poster.

The thank you button is hardly sufficient for expressing actual gratitude.  My most common use of it occurs in threads where there have been many unclear, partial or even wrong answers to a question and someone beats me (either by being faster or smarter) to generating an answer that is complete, tailored to the OPs apparent understanding level and correct.   I mean the thank you to emphasize that it is worth paying more attention to this answer than some of the others.  For some reason this seems more appropriate than quoting the post and adding some line of text such as "Here here" or "great answer."

Retirement for many is a great stressor for the ego.  Going from a position of significant attainment, positional status, often with teams working for you, or at least with you, recognition in the industry, etc.  It can take a while to either find other sources for this validation or adapt to not getting it.  But as previous posters have said if you keep busy you will eventually find yourself happy with your new position, often happier than you were.  One thing that almost all find.  Through engagement in many new tasks (and sometimes combined with reduced efficiency since it is no longer demanded) you find yourself with less free time than ever.  More projects piling up in the to be accomplished pile.
