Hi amora,
Thank you for those kinds words. You make me and all the other team members feel good about the work we all put into these forums.
I know it sounds a bit overstated; but often when I talk to someone who is not familiar with these types of technology forums I explain to them that we get, on average, 4,500,000 visitors a month. The vast majority of these visitors come here from a web search where they are looking to solve a technical problem; and most are at work.
Of course, we cannot claim we help 4,500,000 visitors each month, that would be an overstatement. However, we do manage to help quite a large number of people each month and that is a great feeling. Let's say that out of the 4.5 million visitors to the site each month, only 1 out of 10 find any benefit; well that means we still help around a half a million people each month.
You know, sometimes a person is really trying hard to solve a problem. It's late in the day and they want to go home and have dinner with their family. They have a big problem they want to finish; and they search and (hopefully) find an suitable solution or approach to move them forward here.
Wow. When you think about it; everyone here contributes to this very solid community of people helping each other, and creating a knowledge base for tomorrow and beyond.
Isn't it great to be a part of such a community? I know for me, I am so happy to know that our work in these forums are so useful to so many millions of visitors each year; so I have to thank each and every one of our community members for being a part of this unique community.
This is especially true in a world where there is so much anger, misfortune, hate and violence. It does not matter here what is your government, it does not matter what color is your skin or your eyes or your hair, and it does not matter here if you are rich or you are poor; we all come here as one community to help each other.
It's great isn't it?

cal
CAL(1) User Commands CAL(1) NAME
cal - display a calendar SYNOPSIS
cal [options] [[[day] month] year] DESCRIPTION
cal displays a simple calendar. If no arguments are specified, the current month is displayed. OPTIONS
-1, --one Display single month output. (This is the default.) -3, --three Display prev/current/next month output. -s, --sunday Display Sunday as the first day of the week. -m, --monday Display Monday as the first day of the week. -j, --julian Display Julian dates (days one-based, numbered from January 1). -y, --year Display a calendar for the current year. -V, --version Display version information and exit. -h, --help Display help screen and exit. PARAMETERS
A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be displayed; note the year must be fully specified: cal 89 will not display a calendar for 1989. Two parameters denote the month (1 - 12) and year. Three parameters denote the day (1-31), month and year, and the day will be highlighted if the calendar is displayed on a terminal. If no parameters are specified, the current month's calendar is displayed. A year starts on Jan 1. The first day of the week is determined by the locale. The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred in 1752 on the 3rd of September. By this time, most countries had recognized the ref- ormation (although a few did not recognize it until the early 1900's). Ten days following that date were eliminated by the reformation, so the calendar for that month is a bit unusual. HISTORY
A cal command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX. AVAILABILITY
The cal command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. util-linux June 2011 CAL(1)
