Thank-you, Jerry. We do appreciate it (well, most of us <looking pointedly at the person with the idiotic commentary>).
I’m not sure if you meant that as a whoosh, but he spent his Memorial Day weekend working on this, and he’s been crunching away at it in the evenings, too. That’s beyond what you expect of a standard paycheck-hound.
Thanks, Jerry.
Some jobs never really pay enough; being an IT administrator and taking shit from random people on a regular basis due to problems with buggy software one can’t fix is one of them.
Thank you for all your efforts, Jerry, and I hope the upgrade continues to go as smoothly as possible.

w00t!
Go Jerry
I’m in awe.
I’ve been on the testing end of similar efforts where we had the luxury of doing full-scale QA and user-acceptance before moving to production. And it was a PAIN. Having to go through that pain in public with a whole bunch of people watching and being able to comment would be excruciatingly painful.
Having all the threads restored AND having longish spurts of decent performance at this point is way more than I expected.
A whole bunch more cheers for Jerry!

Jerry, I’d give you a foot massage, if I could reach your toes. Thanks for all the hard work. 
Yay, Jerry!!
Is it again any NDA or copyright law if Jerry posts the offending code snippet on the forum? There’s quite a number of PHP and SQL gurus on the board and maybe together we can fight Server Destabilizing Queries together!
Jerry, you completely and totally rock! Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Thanks so much, Jerry!
Thank you Jerry! Especially in the face of giving up your holiday, the amount of work and lots of overwhelming baggage (both past and present), we really do appreciate you and all that you do.
Thank you very much. I truly appreciate this thread.
Let me share some of my own thoughts. Nothing reflects more highly on the goodness of all of your natures than to see during times of personal inconvenience you have kind words for a stranger instead of complaints. If we are all known by our actions then now I know each of you just a little bit better.
