Paul, what beautiful words, oh here we go I want to cry again!
The encouraging words I get from people here including yourself means the world to me, you guys & girls have just been so amazing that way towards me, honest to goodness it chokes me up many a time. I love to help, (and despite being such a girrrrl(!)- yes I can poke fun at myself
) I feel comfortable doing so because you guys are so amazing! But aside from myself, I see such fantastic support/encouragement/friendship on here towards each other, it's such a wonderful family we have here, always making people feel welcome and needed.
And thank you Chris for your confidence in me, I hope I don't let anyone down- I'll do my best (*she says as she nervously types* lol). It's still a bit daunting at the moment as I'm feeling my way around there with what people want and like, trying to deliver variety to please everyone, while accommodating what I see people really like, and getting a general idea of their behaviour with comments. They seem a very nice, well behaved bunch on the IIS fb page- so many really lovely people there.
Leon, please give fb a go. You'll be surprised how many of your friends on here are there. Also, the IIS fb page is a great way of getting astro news & also useful in pointing out some interesting threads and pics that are here- many of which I've missed until I've seen them there.
Put it this way Leon, if being on fb isn't your thing, you can always leave. But I hope you won't because I think you would have a fabulous time and learn a lot (yes, it's surprising, fb can be a great place to learn as you can get news feeds from many science sources- not just the IIS page!) and we all get to hang out together. Another thing that's great about it- so many of us get on at silly wee hours of the morning after an obs or photographing session and want to share the excitement of what we've seen/photographed, and you can be almost guaranteed that at least one of us from IIS will be there to share in the excitement! It's 3am now and I'm still here online typing this.
Yes, I would love to hold your hand on fb, and I will introduce you to many fellow IIS'ers, absolutely with what Chris said. Please consider joining us. And if you do, you have to make sure you "Like" the IIS fb page- I'll make sure of it.
Put it this way- H broke and joined and he's enjoying it. Go with that with proof that it's not such a bad thing.
Have we broken Leon yet
