Thank you so much for saying this. I've been having a bit of a busy and rough week, and when I read this it literally made my day. I put a lot of effort into my posts because I've been here forever and care about the community, so it's really amazing to see that it's appreciated. I actually remember when you showed up to the community and noticed that you seemed very different from the standard newbie who joins for hacking, and I was very happy to see that you stuck it out and the weeks turned into months and eventually into, like, years and seeing you learning the whole way. It's flattering that you view me as a role model, but I have a feeling that you know more than you think you know, and can do more than you think you're capable of doing. Also, I can do C but I don't really know where to start to apply it to the GBA and have nearly zero assembly knowledge (which will change next semester, but still) so you're definitely ahead of the curve in some really important areas. Areas that are just going to get bigger and more important as time goes on.
Anyway, I don't know how to end this, except to say that I'll see you around! Keep posting and contributing! All of us mainstay hackers have a responsibility to keep discussion flowing and keep the scene alive! Buena suerte.
