A hearty handshake, a big hug, and a huge ā€œTHANK YOU!ā€ to Jerry. And if he wants it, a little smootch. \*\*\* iampunha, when did you attract a cult following? ---

Some day I want to meet Jerry and buy him some drinks. Hell, Iā€™ll buy him a whole damn keg. And a server. No, TWO servers. ---

If Jerry doesnā€™t want the servers Iā€™ll take them. Iā€™ve always wanted a personal valet, and having two would make the work that much easier. Um, oh, different kind of server, huh? Damn. Never mind. Iā€™ll help wit the keg, though. ---

Just a fervent and grateful echo to the sentiments here. **Jerry** pulled ungodly hours and worked through some horrendous complicationsā€“there are _always_ complicationsā€“and did it all under the gun. Given the seriousness of what happened, I was braced for a long downtime with probable slowdowns when we did come back up. By gum and _bedamned_ if he didnā€™t get up right back up and running, without even losing the improved board speed. **Jerryā€™s** the best examplar of smart, dedicated, stubborn Fighting Against Ignoranceā€“and damned well _winning_.
