A BIG THANKS to all staff

[SaigoNoBan]

Also in the light of some recent quarrels which I was very sad to see, I think it would be good for us users to stop a moment and think with gratitude about the work of the people who make the TJP possible.

*Clayさま: The father of a gorgeous baby boy, and of a fabulous Internet Site as well. He is the man who started this all!

*Binsentoさま - Daisukeさま - Mariyaさま - njtさま - randompersonさま - rangerさま - ShinDigさま - Spaztickさま - thecolnelさま: The Admins

Although we may or may not agree with a particular decision by an Admin (which I intend we can always discuss via PM) we should keep in mind that -by Clayさま's admission- without their everyday work, the forum would simply not exist. It takes great dedication to do their job, and I respect them greatly for this.

*Cocoさん and 礼美先生　（And probably others I don't know yet） - These are Japanese people who are so kind as to spend a great part of their spare time helping beginners like me who usually tend to make the same mistakes over and over again... Many people would want to be paid big money for less than what these members are doing - did I mention, for FREE? Did anyone of us pay a dime for the help we are getting here, both from Admins and experts? Go and see what a lesson costs nowadays... These people put great effort into their work, so I like to call them 先生　- even though Coco doesn't like the title, she more than deserves it IMO;)

*Our 先輩s. People who have been studying Japanese for years and are at a very high level of ability - sharing their knowledge with us. I know a few, but they are many so citing only the ones I know would do wrong to the others. Just a big, BIG THANKS to every one of them.

If you agree, we could call an Administrator Day - like, the first day of each month - during which we can express our gratitude to these GENEROUS people. Despite a few occasional quibbles, I am sure we all feel thankful to them.

このみんな、どうもありがとうございます！！

yea, thanks to everyone involved in this beautiful site!

[Daisuke]

Thank you very much for the comments, SaigoNoBan!.. Means alot!

[Txkun]

Yep I agree... something that often happens a lot (in life and thus in the net) is to talk always and complain about the things that don't go how you wish and very seldom of what works.

[yankumi]

Yes, thanks to everyone for providing inspiration, guidance and instruction.

[coco]

i like to thank clay (which none of this would be possible), all staff, helpers and everyone who comes to TJP. Its not only the staff that make this place a wonderful learning environment. You, the learners, are also a great aspect to the community. Give youselves a nice big pat on the back its very well deserved. Well done TJP community!

I should be a speech writer dont you think?

Group hugしましょうか？

Thank you for all the kind words! This is truly a great community we (I mean every one of us) are building.

[Sachi]

I completely agree Thanks so much! Seriously, I would be no where near as good at Japanese as I am now, though I still have a long ways to go.

Thanks again, to everyone ^^

to all gakusei:

if it werent for this site, who knows how long it could have taken us to get to the level we are at now? would we have as much fun and encouragement along the way?

thanks very much, to all who have answered my (at times) petty and annoying grammar threads!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:DB)
