Hey all,

Thank you for visiting KarateForums.com.

Today marks 5 years since Danielle (DWx) joined the staff here at KarateForums.com. This is an amazing milestone and I wanted to take a moment to mark it.

During the time that Danielle has been a member here at KF, I have gotten to know her quite a bit and I really think highly of her. Beyond her involvement with the staff, she's just a great, positive person.

As a member of the community, one of the things I appreciate most about her is the consistently high quality of her contributions and presence here. She sets a tremendous example for other members to follow, with not only the great thoughts that she introduces into our discussions, but the kind, calm and respectful way that she introduces them.

As a member of my staff, Danielle has exhibited a tremendous level of attention to detail, a trait that I value highly. She has developed into a great moderator, someone who helps me in the quiet task of maintaining the environment that the members of KarateForums.com are familiar with. She's a great team player - very considerate and supportive.

Thank you, Danielle, for all of the great contributions that you have made to this community. I appreciate all of your support over the years.

Sincerely,

Patrick

Congrats Danielle!!!!

Congrats Danielle!! 5 years on staff is nothing to sneeze at. I respect you across the board and you've earned my respect both as a person as well as a martial artist.

You're one of the best 3rd Dans around, and I've seen a lot. Your knowledge in both spoken and written shows across the board, and what I've seen, your technical abilities are extraordinary, and I'd be so very proud to share the floor with you anytime.

I've been fortunate to have learned from you here at KF, both as a member and as a Sempai. I concur with everything Patrick has said in his OP. As a martial artist, I've learned a lot from you in that field as well. These aren't idle words, I mean them with all of my heart, mind, and soul.

I consider you as a friend, in and out of the martial arts!!

I bow to you!! Here's to another 5 years!!

You deserve it!
