[2022] Appreciation post for Dan Felder

Dan, don't even read this. Just feel warm and fuzzy, then keep scrolling. Your eyes are busy, good sir.

I've been seeing this crazy man all over this sub lately. Not to say he hasn't been active before, but his visibility seems to have increased quite a bit. Frankly, he's in danger of becoming LoR's Mark Rosewater, which is just about as thankless a job as I can fathom -- especially since he's talking to all of us about our concerns regarding the game and its future, which means he's painted a target on his back for people who don't feel like they've gotten what they want after the fact.

I just want to say thank you (also, why are you reading this, Dan?! I specifically told you not to bother, smh). Thank you for listening to our concerns, yes, but thank you even more for talking to us about them. You're putting yourself in an impossible position for (presumably) little tangible gain, a job I could never do for myriad reasons. Personally, I feel heard; even if the changes I personally think would be best for the game don't come to pass, I have confidence that there will be changes, and that those will be for the better -- or, at the very least, will be made with the best of intentions.

I hope there are many, many more people who feel the same.

P.S.: I had no idea what to flair this with. Almost went with Humor\Fluff, but felt that would send the wrong message. :V
