WOW!!! Congratulations PR!!!
thank you PR and congratulations !!!
Reading through your comments, Physicist-retired, really helped me (and I am sure many others like me) have a better grasp on the situation in Japan.
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
He deserves it, Congrats PR!!!!
We got lots and lots of deserved props for that discussion. Not all of them were outright RAV nominations, some were just thanking Newsvine for the information.
I feel like that underscores that Newsvine isn't just a website, and it isn't just the nine of us in an office. It's a community that provides really unique content and a lot of that comes in the form of great discussion. I'm psyched we handed out a RAV for fostering that.

Thanks, Sheriff!
Newsvine is a community and we all contribute and we all glean confidence in expressing ourselves to one another. When someone deserves kudos and honors this is not ignored and makes the community more prosperous and enlightened. Personally, I have learned more from my fellow Newsvine members than from any other source as they provide a plethora of extended information that would take me days to research and read. Thanks Physicist Retired and the entire NV community you've given me the best material for continual conversations and I appreciate this immensely.
Congratulations Physicist-retired. Well earned praise.
Phys Ret:

Congratulations Phycisist Retired on your RAV. The knowledge of the rest of the world that you share with the reader is amazing in itself and you are a true credit to the NV community. I am glad I got to know a little bit about you through your awesome photo articles of your global travels. I look forward to more... JJ
I love coming to your articles, Physicist! Kudos to you for being so informative and congratulations on your RAV!
Salutations Physicist Retired! You so graciously dumbed down your reply to my intellectually bereft question that I actually felt like less of a dolt. You are the perfect example of proper Newsvine decorum. Thanks and congratulations.
Welcome to the wall. I look forward to reading your articles. I have seen your comments and agree they deserve special notice. I blame my tracker for not making me familiar with you sooner. Congratulations.
Woo Hoo! Great decision, Newsvine! Congratulations Physicist! you deserve it!
Yay Phys! :)
