Thank-you Scott and Mark!

Jim, these updates can be sorrowful as well as being contenting at the same time. A well deserved break for Scott from his moderator duties, and a salute to Mark for taking on the additional duties at the M/CU gallery going forward.......

Thank you Scott for your reviews and comments as an NPN moderator in the past years , and to Mark for his strong support over the long haul as well......

Thank you to both Mark and Scott.

Many thanks to both of you. I know you'll enjoy your new endeavors.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as moderator these past four years, Jim. It was both challenging (particularly making the WPs) and rewarding. It really made me think even more critically and conscientiously, which was good for me. I also want to thank everyone who participated in the macro & cu gallery during this time. I never received any complaints, criticisms, or second-guessing.This made my job much easier, and is a credit to the graciousness of everyone at NPN.  I can now just sit back, relax, and participate as a regular NPN member, which I will remain having just renewed my membership.     

My thanks to both Scott and Mark for their dedication to their Moderator roles and their always insightful and helpful comments and suggestions.  Sorry to lose you, Scott - pleased to learn you are taking on the role in Macro, Mark !!

Scott, thanks for your dedication and thoughtful comments to NPN as moderator.  Mark, good luck in taking on an extra duty in the coming year.  I appreciate all the time and effort both you and the other moderators put in on our behalf.

 

Thank you both your efforts have been and will be appreciated.

Good job guys!

Thank you Scott and Mark!  I really appreciate the time and effort and the well thought our comments you both have provided.  And not just in your own galleries.  You both frequently take the time and effort to comment in other galleries too!

THANK YOU!  

Scott, My sincere thanks for your time, dedication and helpful comments. Hopefully we'll continue to see your fascinating work. Mark, thanks for taking on an extra duty.

Scott,

Thank you for all  the comments.  You and all the moderators do an excellent job making NPN a wonderful place to visit on the web........................Jim

Thanks to Scott for four years of exceptional work that has helped make the Macro/Close-up a lively part of NPN.
And thanks to Mark for doing the same for the WC Gallery.  I know he will carry on Scott's good work in M/CU while doing double-duty on the WC. (That's a lot of energy!)

Thanks to you both for your insightful and constructive comments!

Scott,

You have been the Macro & CU Moderator for the duration of my three and a half years as a member at NPN and you are the primary reason that I reluctantly took the plunge into macro photography. If you recall, my first bunch of post into your gallery were shot with every kind of lens but a Macro. Thanks to you, I now own a 100 mm macro and a set of extension tubes.  What a wonderful plunge it has been, thank you so much for your insightful critiques, heartfelt support, expert guidance and especially for your inspirational images that have given me a goal to shoot for. I also want to note that because of your professionalism, your ethics and your role as advocate for the ideas and direction that you so firmly believed in, has helped to make NPN what it is today. You will be missed and thanks for your great work as moderator. I'm glad you will still be posting so we can all take a crack at topping your images each week and hope you will be returning to moderator duties in the near future.

Thanks for the outstanding job you have done . . . 

Thank you, Mike (and everyone else), for those very kind sentiments. I really appreciate them.
