I wanted to post a big, public THANK YOU to many of the members here at Head-Fi. As some of you have read (or heard through other members), I lost my wallet yesterday afternoon (know exectly where) and, until about 3pm this afternoon, it had not turned up.
Along with every piece of ID I have (stupid, I know), I lost my monthly transportation and about 50% of the funds collected from the Toronto Meet this weekend.
In a panic, I put my beloved Grado/Eddie Current on the block to help cover the impending expenses of replacing my ID cards and everything in between.
Thankfully, the wallet was returned to the store this afternoon, empty of cash, but with everything else still there.
But this post is not about the wallet. Not at all. This is a public...
[size=large]THANK YOU!!![/size]
...to the outpouring of support I received from many members of this board. Some I'm familiar with through meets, others through regular PMs and thread discussions and, others still, complete strangers.
There have been a few messages left offering support through a donation "charity", offers to sell unneeded equipment to help my cause or even simply offering cash to help ease the hit. To all of you, your support has touched me, even though I had to decline (I cannot allow such generosity to be directed at a mistake that was wholly my own).
Imagine the looks I got at work this morning, grumpy if not completely irate, only to look like I was ready to cry after so many people stood up, ready to come to my aid.
At any rate, the wallet has been returned, inclusive of all the hard-to-replace ID and cards, which is a huge weight off my shoulders. I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has been so kind over this stressful day. It is a true reminder that this is a real community, not just another web forum.
There are real, caring people here folks. It's the main reason I contribute to this site and is exactly why I will continue to do so. It's nice to know you have friends and today has proven to me that I have many.
Thank you all.
