i think that people might have expressed their appreciation at the time (e.g., when he offered his advice) and they might not see very many benefits to expressing it here. 'Sticking up for Scott' kind of makes the situation out to be Scott against admin or against certain posters or something like that. often people avoid those kinds of situations. that doesn't mean that they don't appreciate the people involved, however, its just that they want to refrain from a situation where it appears they have to choose which side to be on. it is possible to appreciate someone and support them without attempting to stick up for them. it is possible...

i suppose that with regards to the disrespect we are back to the circle again...
who showed disrespect first???

as gg likes to say 'the wheels on the bus go round and round'.

dammit, i wish i was better at this. i can't for the life of me work out what a better ending would look like...
