I am not certain if this violates some sort of net-etiquette rule; however, I figure you can't get in too much trouble saying something nice.

As a complete newcomer to 3d graphics, I picked up Poser 7 on a bit of a whim and am having a blast using it.  

Part of that enjoyment has come from finding Renderosity and the Rendesority forums.  I am not in the computer field whatsoever, but have dabbled in beta-testing games and browsed forums for other hobbies and I would like to say that I have never had the pleasure of being on a forum such as this.

Whether it is because of the moderators, or the generally helpful camarederie of 3d graphics artists, or both, these forums reflect very positively on this community. In my very short time here, I have found the members to be very helpful and patient without any feeling of being condescended at.  Even discussions in which opinions differ (having browsed quite a few threads), are friendly and professional.  In fact, I have not really seen any discussions that have been hostile.

I just wanted to say thanks for such a great introduction!
