^_^ That's pretty much what I wish to say to you all, really. It's been a while with some heated discussions that I've followed from a distance. I'm not going to add to that. I've had my share of heat this year.

I just wanted to tell all of you wonderful fellow artists and photographers that I respect as human beings and for the work you create, that I'm really glad that I've become a part of this community. I've had a long period of time shortage on my hands and it doesn't look like it's getting any better in the foreseeable future.

Thank you all for the pieces of art that I've found here and put in my personal virtual treasure chest on my Macs HD. A special thanks to those that have taken the time to comment on some (and some very many) of my pieces the last couple of months. I truly appreciate this and the occasional constructive criticism in particular.

I'm sad to say I don't have the time to thank you all in person as is the custom here. I often leave a comment in the thread of the image but I don't know if people see them. This is not a big problem or anything. I don't wish a ton of comments on this post. I just want to express my thankfulness for these things at this particular moment.

A particularly warm greetings go out to the friends that I've gotten acquainted with the last year or so, some as recent as the last couple of months. I've not forgotten you. I think of you and hope life treats you well. I'm hoping to get more time in the future to write you and see how everything is going. For now I'm in more or less permanent lurker mode and hope you don't take this personal in any way.

So in short: Have a nice day everyone!

Regards,
Klas

Hi there!
Its nice to give people some acknowledges sometimes and i think its a warm hearted thing you have done with this post. Its easy to take people for granted and never say what we feel about them ,and its easy to regret that when people are not in this life anymore..
You stated a good example here Klas!
Have a good day too!

This is a really lovely way to acknowledge people... should be more of it... Hope you have a nice day too Klas.... and hope to see you lurking around... =)

Thanks, You really are a very nice person.. This was very sweet of you.. Hope you find time to enjoy the fun again, soon.. I'll be watching for you lurking.

Wonderful sentiments and a very nice touch, Klas...sorry for your lack of time for now but perfectly understandable as it happens to all of us at some time or another...as for heated discussions, not to worry... I think for the most part we have a pretty nice bunch of people here...tolerant and forgiving where need be...so, all the best to you and yours til we meet again.:Pat.

Hi Klas, and have a good one yourself! My time here is pretty limited these days, so I sympathise. Enjoy your lurking, and thanks for all the comments and helpful suggestions you've made in the past :-)

See you around bro!

Have a nice day and enjoy and bye!!

Have a nice day.
