Me too. I typically don’t like threads like this that say in effect, ‘Hey, we’re going to send you tons of chocolates and boatloads of candy for making this place so nice and sweet’. I dunno, it’s all kinda cyber-shallow. I’m more of the opinion of being real, which is, “Hey, I like this place. It’s cool to see a place like this up and running and full of people that are interesting and funny.” I respect and appreciate the hard work that goes into keeping this place going. Thanks! ---

Come on, Jerry. You forgot to feed the squirrels, didn’t you? You can tell us… Seriously, though, thanks for getting the boards back up. ---

My thanks, too! And, of course, I used to be reluctant to waste board resources with something like a thank-you, but the boards have been running so fast lately. So thank you for that, too! ---

Jerry, there aren’t too many people who would spend their Friday night hunting down hackers and getting the boards back up and running. Thanks. ---

You’re a gentleman and a scholar, **jdavis**. We truly appreciate the work you do in keeping this place running, and regret that your work is unnecessarily increased by monumental jerks like the one who showed up yesterday. How much are the dues to your fan club? ---

GREAT job, Jerry. I absolutely HATE hackers, and I hope you guys catch the culprit. In the meantime, I hope they give you a full day’s rest. And you deserve a 2nd coffee mug. 😉 ---
