In this case I made the offer ... not the other way around.

To all of you who have contacted me about details I've just got back from an 'outdoors weekend' and I'm shattered.

If I can I'll try to put up a summary (necessarily vague) tomorrow but for now I need a bath and to ache in private

I certainly appreciate all you have done for me and the others on this forum, i try to do my own defences now (mainly based on yours mate, and try only to ask questions where im not sure.
As GM said the forum would would be lost without you, i definitely would be nowhere without your help.

HI PT2537,
I'll echo what CCM has said,
I appreciate every thing you do on here for all of us.

I have read threads where you are giving expert advise and the OP hasn't bothered to say thanks in hardly any of their replies.
It just goes to show what a kind sole you are.

As GM says, the more you teach us, the more we can pass on, and so save you the trouble. Problem is, we will never be as good as you,

Paul, you are without doubt one of the key strengths of CAG at the moment. So sorry to hear this.

Please do not be disheartened, I know the silent majority read all that you post and are very grateful indeed.

Please do keep up the good work. It is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
BRW

Hi,


I can only echo these comments and others posted earlier.

I think without CAG and people like pt, I for one wouldn't have a clue, or the courage of how to deal with our problems with various financial companies etc!

It's people like pt who give people like me the strength to see things through to the end.

Without this help I think me and many others would of given hope right at the start!!!

So once again, many many thanks to pt and all others who have offered me valuable assistance or kind words of support!


Best wishes, Jeff.

WOW im overwhelmed , thank you everyone for the massive show of support,
i wasnt suggesting for a minute that the people ive helped werent grateful, i guess i was talking out aloud as ive had a few PMs recently almost demanding that i drop everything and write a defence for people and not even a thank you was forthcoming and i guess that got to me a little,

anyway thanks every one, i really appreciate it

It's the truth my friend ... I still have 2 more fights and I'm still relying (less maybe) on your advice.

That's why the rest of us SHOULD help folks ... we can at least help filter the easy stuff for our resident experts right?

I owe at least that much.

It won't be a problem given what we've just faced.

I don't want to give people false hope or expectation though ... this has been a hard fought contest and it would have been very easy to give up.

What we did was also backed by very strong evidence.
