I just wanted to say my thanks to everyone here who writes, comments, or is in other ways involved on a regular basis with the site, in particular Jason for beginning the whole mess.

I gained the courage to go to Graduate School through my writing on this site. I feel I've grown so much here, being surrounded by such excellent writers and such diverse writers. Posting nearly 60 reviews in the last fourteen months or so has been no menial feat and it makes the two or three papers I have to do at Grad school seem like nothing.

It's also taught me that, even when critically assessing something, we have to keep our audience in mind. After all, how many of us can relate to the experience of being handed an essay by a professor and groaning our way through its tedious word choices and over-the-top analyzations?

The skills of the reviewer are being put to good use. I promise you, no matter how technical a topic I have to cover, I will never contribute another groan to the academic world. That's my payment back to all of you have helped me grow so much in my writing and my life.

Thank you!
