[Pw_forum] Acknowledgment to this forum

[vega lew]

Dear sir,

I could remember in the days when I joined this forum. At that time, I know
nothing about how to build a cluster, how to compile and run QE in parallel
and even how to do a scientific research. It is Axel Kohlmeyer, you and
other scientist in this forum to tell me how to use QE and do my own
research.

I still remember the word that you lecture me.
For example, "i would trust more a colleague next dore (whom, at least I
could tease and ask questions) than a journal, ANY journal, no matter its
impact factor, publishing company, title ...";
"what is good for a system may be totally wrong for another, unless you know
exactly WHY it is good in one case and you are sure that the same argument
holds for the second. this only YOU can say, after sweating quite a lot to
understand by yourself, which, I understand, you are not quite prepared to
do";
"it sounds like somebody led you to believe that the purpose of science is
to publish in high-impact journals. are you sure this is really the case?";
and "If I were to describe in one sentence what makes the difference between
modern science and ancient knowledge systems, it is the role played in the
former by the "doubt": never trust a truth unless you can give by yourself a
correct answer to a legitimate question. and reproducibly so." etc.

It has been more than two years since I joined this forum. I found someone
who used to be very active had been leave here for something more important,
such as Axel Kohlmeyer, Eyvaz Isaev and so on. I am always laying their help
by my heart. You and your team is still here to develop the QE. I really
appreciate everything you did, which makes our investigation possible.

I think many users like me are not the proper person the contribute to the
codes or the forum, because my background is not physics. But I think what I
could do is to use Q-E to find something interest and useful and make Q-E
more well-known.

Hope Q-E and this forum become better and better.

best wishes,

vega
