You are welcome.

If you like GNU parallel:

* Re-walk through the tutorial once per year. You will discover new
features and be reminded of old ones.
* Give a demo at your local user group/your team/your colleagues
* Post the intro videos and the tutorial on Reddit, Mastodon,
Diaspora*, forums, blogs, Identi.ca, Google+, Twitter, Facebook,
Linkedin, and mailing lists
* Request or write a review for your favourite blog or magazine
(especially if you do something cool with GNU parallel)
* Invite me for your next conference

If you use GNU parallel for research:

* Please cite GNU parallel in you publications (use --citation)

If GNU parallel saves you money:

* (Have your company) donate to FSF or become a member

What pushed you over the edge? Can we make that edge easier to be pushed over?

Out of curiosity: Did you notice the "Reader's guide" at the beginning
of 'man parallel'?

Sounds good.
