Nominate your rootschat FEELGOOD helpers

[JenB]

I don't see a problem with thanking an individual.  Whilst I agree that RCers in general are wonderful for some one or row particular chatters will have been helpful to them, why shouldn't they thank them?

Of course people should be thanked. But do so on the particular thread on which they have been helpful to you.

What I don't feel comfortable with is a thread which encourages the singling out of particular people. (I don't mean in any way to disparage the people who have been named.)

I go along with JenB (and others).  Thank the folk at the time.

Apart from that, it is enough of a chore having to check the newspaper obituaries every day to see if I am there without having to see if I've made the Feelgood list

Much better to do it at the time. I'm afraid, as I said before, I feel uncomfortable with singling out people for special praise, all Rootschatters are special. By naming them on a separate thread you are almost creating an elite group, although I'm sure this isn't anyone's intention. Unless people are PM'd to tell them they are on the list, they may not see it anyway!

I nominate BumbleB, JenB and groom for pointing out the pitfalls of singling people out for nomination.

Thanking people is always good though.
