I am grateful. For advice. For help. For questions that show the path. For answers that encourage. I am grateful. To Timmy. And to others. I am grateful. For the freedom to partcipate here. For listening. For asking. For giving pieces of advice. For so many things.
Whom among you did Timmy help (is helping)??? By any means...

When Timmy helps people off the board it is usually private. If people did not mind their issues being discussed publicly they would post them here, as many have done. So, Marek, I would be very surprised if you get an answer to your question.
Incidentally, though I know that Timmy does help people off the board (via private email usually) he is not the only one here to whom people sometimes turn. I think that that is the ethos of this forum: just being here so that those who want advice know where they might be able to find it.

That is sweet of you, and I know you have been through a tough set of decisions.
The great thing is that, because you have been through the wars yourself, you are also in a good position to help others. Somehow "only those in pain" can be effective help. I know it's a generalisation and I know one size, unlike US trousers, does not fit all, but he who is hurting knows how others hurt.
We all turn to others, on here and elsewhere. We bounce our pain off them and see how they advise us. Once we understand the advice, truly understand it, then we choose our own path. Sometimes it coincides with some of the advice given, sometimes not at all.
For my part I hope I have been some help to everyone who has asked for it. But I hope, mostly, that they have come to their own conclusions rather than followed my advice, such as it is.

Probably everyone, Marek. I guess you are hinting that we don't say "Thank you Timmy" often enough. I agree with you.
Since I've found it I bet I've come here more than twice as often as anywhere else.
Love,
Anthony

The only thanks I ever need is to know or to feel, perhaps only to hope, that help is always paid forward and that the person helped pays the help forward.
We cannot help or save every soul, but we can do our best to encourage others to try to.
