In spite of not being Christian, I really must say Amen to that!

Yes, I hope nobody misconstrues me as complaining. This is a wonderful site and an excellent resource. My only regret is that there's no Hranting around here anymore.

I’d like to thank all those that make this ’place’ as rich as it is. From the brilliant design and maintenance of Typophile - to the one time poster, it’s all good.

Cheers to that, Hiroshige. I think that all too often we take Typophile for granted, so this is a great opportunity to say thanks to everyone who puts in so much time and care, whether it is the kind folks at Punchcut, or the moderators, or the users.

If I could only go to one place on the internet, this would be the one. I love this place and everyone involved in it. It has made me a better person.

Thanks isn't a big enough word.

Yeah typophile is great--it has enriched my life. Thanks to all!

>In spite of not being Christian, I really must say Amen to that!

FYI: "Amen" is a Hebrew word meaning "it is true," or "so be it"--exactly as you use it--and was part of Jewish liturgy for many centuries before Christianity came around. The word for faith, "emunah" is from the same root, as is the word for truth, "emet".

"FYI: “Amen” is a Hebrew word"

Sure.

I'll make that "In spite of not being Christian or Jewish or of any other faith for which this time of the year has a particular significance" :)

I’d like to thank all the typophile widows and orphans out there.

I'm thankful for this site too - I've learned a ton about type from the wizards here and it's a great place to go when I need a break from work.

And thankful to Punchcut for the sometimes thankless task of providing it.

Thank you, Punchcut; thank you, moderators; thank you, community members: for a true love of talking about type. If it weren't for Typophile, I doubt I would have gotten far beyond visiting Dafont every once in a while.

Definitely my favourite place on the web.
Lots of provocative ideas to bat around, and the technical assistance I get from Thomas, John, Miguel, Adam etc. is absolutely priceless, as well as the insight into what makes hardcore "users" like Patty, Tiffany and Charles tick.

Having said that, I detest Christmas, even, perhaps especially, in November.

The Grinch hated Christmas!
The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be that his head wasn't screwed on quite right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

;-)

And once more with feeling...

"I'm dreaming of a Typophile Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where Hrant’s not missin’
And the lurkers listen
In general discussions “anything goes”

I'm dreaming of a Typophile Christmas
With every wiki entry that I write
May your postings be merry and bright
And may all your font ID’s be right"

Thank you to everyone involved in Typophile.

It is a great privilage to learn from others sharing their expertise and experience.

I am a sucker for Christmas, especially the lights. I had never considered their environmental impact - but you are right :(

I'll also take this opportunity to thank typophile and its users for the knowledge about type they provided me with. And of course the nice community as well. I've been on a couple of other communities, but never really taken part actively, or at least not like on here. Not that I really know anyone here (or vice versa), but I've been here for a while now and I enjoy participating in the discussions. And getting to know new people is always good. :)

The overwhelming thing we have felt for a long time is that Typophile's strength is you -- your sharing, your ideas, your humor, even your curmudgeonly reproof. This thread is a reminder of the essence of this place -- you all sharing professionally and socially and otherwise.

As for us, we're grateful to provide the medium. This thread really means a lot. Thank you all.

I knew I forgot two! Yves, I know you're there on the ID board but I rarely visit (I read your column at typographer.org), but thanks so much for the great service you provide to type users. Seasons greeting Eben :^) I didn't know we had six mods. The typophile Sera Senshi Sentai Six (pretty sailor-soldier guardian magical girl team ;^)

Well somebody is reading our minds - I just read that the Rockefeller tree is decorated with energy-saving bulbs this year. Now if they could just figure out a way to NOT kill the tree...

It goes with out saying that I heart Typophile. I'm lucky to be a part of such a great community. Thank you, Typophile!
