Default A huge thank you to dion!

and no, its not the Flames Dion but our very own CP DION!

Thank very much Dion!

I had posted a while back that if someone could pick me up a copy of Theo's book, I would be very grateful.

Not only did Dion pick me up a copy of the book but he also had it autographed for me, not by himself but from Theo!

Dion then sent it to me and PM'd me a told me that he had done so already and that I could fire him down the money when I got it.

Well thats an incredible great gesture from one in our very own lil community here and I wanted to take a moment and acknowledge it.

Thanks again, Dion, its greatly appreciated and the "cheques in the mail"!

I"ve had a few transactions between some members on this board, always turned out well. Wouldn't hesitate to do it again either. As you say, solid little community here.

Dion is, plain and simple, a great guy. I have a feeling a golf game is in our future.

I've never met him, but through his posts I have come to figure that Dion is a great person.

He also posts more pictures than anyone else on CP!

CP has always been great for both buying and selling. I notice that whenever I sell anything on kijiji the buyer is usually very gaurded and unfriendly, like he's predicting bad things from the get-go.

So it's always surprising when I sell something on CP and the buyer tends to have complete trust and no desire to sit there for half an hour making sure every function of a product works, and questioning every little aspect of when/how/why you bought it.

Dion is a great guy.

I'm also the proud owner of an autographed copy of Theo's book thanks to Dion, which was a complete and utter surprise. Truly one of the nicest things someone has done for me.

Thanks again Dion!!

Who needs the internet when you've got Theo's book?

I'm not surprised at Dion's gesture re Theo's book. His giving nature shines through his posts. It's guys like him that make CP such a great place.
