Now, I hadn’t really registered this particular Doper, before. But some time ago, I dropped into a Cafe Society thread and offered a few book suggestions. Thought little about it. Then I got PM’d by **eclectic wench** , who shared that she knew one of authors I’d touted, and shared my blurb with the author, and the author was appreciative.  
Some details omitted at the **wench** ’s request, but after some back and forth arrived in the mail a signed copy of a book by said author, personalized to my daughter, who first turned me onto the author.  
Made my daughter’s week, and possibly my year, a random act of kindness by a doper I did not know. I wanted to share my appreciation for **eclectic wench** with all here, and maybe see if other Dopers have tales of being the recipients of random acts of kindness from other Dopers.

I’ve had my life positively impacted in a number of ways by the kindness of Dopers, so I’m always glad to hear stories of it happening to others. Kudos to **eclectic wench**!
