Dear 2018 VIP class,

I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to each one of you! You are the quintessence of what makes Cisco Support Community so unique - experts who, out of their inner goodness, selflessly and generously share their knowledge and devote their free time to help others.

Cisco Support Community has a unique genius loci. I joined it in 2005, though only to ask a few questions and then go silent for about four years, and then I started posting again in 2009, and with more or less success, I still try to be around. With immense pleasure, I can say that over that whole time, this community has managed to keep what makes it so unique: A quality of communication that is both very crisp, pointed and truly expert in the technical sense, and at the same time, respectful and dignified, treating everyone with courtesy.

You, the VIPs, embody these qualities and carry them on, and Cisco Support Community depends on you to keep its unique positive nature. Thanks to your continuous presence on these forums, Cisco Support Community continues being the one-of-a-kind place, in the best possible meaning, where networking experts help each other.

For all of this, and much more, thank you!

Best regards,
Peter

Thanks to Peter for your kind and thoughtful words. You'll always be part of the "VIP family"even though you've gone over to the Cisco staff side.

And finally, hearty congratulations to my fellow Class of 2018 VIPs. Keep up the good work, one answer at a time!
