Dear Keith, If you or someone you know is reading this I just wanted to say thank you. I wrote this a few minutes ago in GD:

I think that going round after round would have been so much harder if we didn't have Countdown as affirmation of how we felt, what we knew was right. Thank you for your show full of truth, thank you for the laughs, thank you for helping us feel we're not crazy and backing us up with lengthy videos that prove we're not crazy. Just thank you.
