I know that you use a period when you complete a thought, trouble is, I never completely complete one.

This is an example for the use of a semi-colon after the word "thought."

Thanks for putting this together - especially the "noone" seeing that one always gets me

Both are correct. Grammatically, #1 might have an edge. #2 means "I appreciate your [action of taking the time] to (do whatever).

Very thin line. Anyone else?
