It's hard to imagine greater accomplishment but it is surely Derek's friendship which I for one treasure like the warm sun. 
Good job Derek!![]()

Congratulations to all the new badge & medal earners in the past week.
Just got home and am reading this group of posts and would like to Say Derek is one of a handful who has made this forum what it is.............The Best of all Forums.
I want to personally thank my EBA friend for all the time and dedication he has provided me and others.
Job well done my friend,
THW


Well done, Derek, for a great achievement.![]()
Thank you Andy!
IMHO, I look at posts and then look at the quality of those posts.
Quantity is not always Quality.

Good comment in a very odd, wrong place. We are congratulating Derek because of the medal he has got as a symbol of the quality of his posts, help he has given. Rep, thus medals, is earned by helping, not by post count.
I can understand if you do feel you do not want to congratulate Derek or someone else. For instance I have deliberately stopped posting my congratulations after every "Look! I got a light green or yellow turd!", saving my sincere congratulations for medals which I see as real achievements, rewards of hard work and willingness to help.
Once again, Derek, congratulations on your new medal. You are one of those geeks here who really makes Seven Forums the place it is, number 1 Windows forums on the net, my virtual home.
Very serious, very sincere, with utmost respect,
Kari
Thank you Kari, I wasn't sure the best way to respond to that one so I didn't.
You on the other hand found the perfect words as usual, speaking what most of us feel.
Your congrats and respect are sincerely appreciated, and returned my friend.
Thank you.![]()
I think no one is congratulating Derek on the quantity of posts here. IMHO I do however regard quantity of Medals and pips indicative of quality, other wise no thanks, reps, no medals, no pips.IMHO, I look at posts and then look at the quality of those posts.
Quantity is not always Quality.

Well said everyone, I can't remember if I've given my congratulations to Derek on his very deserved medal, I know I've thanked a few who've recently been awarded medals, there seems to have been so many lately.
Well done to you all as others have said your help is greatly appreciated and what makes this forum what it is.![]()
