This man keeps the hamsters fed. Keeps them happy. And at the same time keeps us happy. The man deserves all the praise and adulation we can give him. So lets hear it folks! This is actually a sincere thanks for all the work you do on the servers that provide us, the teeming 20k or so, our home away from home. Thanks Jerry! And maybe he will grace us with a post! ---

I’ll take Jerry out to a strip joint once he gets the board nice 'n fast 'n peppy 24/7. 🙂 As it is, there’s still some _serious_ lag during the daylight hours… ☹ ---

Thank you so much, **Jerry**. If you are ever in the PNW (WAY North in the PNW) I’ll buy you dinner. And drinks. You’ll have to find the naked women all by yourself, since I don’t know any. I know, I’ll put you on the bus to Seattle or Vancouver. I’m sure they have some in the big city. 😃 Seriously, I really appreciate all the hard work you expend and the aggravation you put up with on this board. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Way to go Jerry, yet another proof that anyone who uses Linux is a minor deity. 😃 (OS bigot? Me? Pipe it to /dev/null! ;)) ---

Come on people. 9 people out of 20k. Oh well…don’t blame me if the next time the server needs a kick, Jerry decides to go on vacation. ---

BTW–this thread would be attracting more posts if the title were **The “lavish praise on Jerry the Tech God” thread** instead of **The lavish praise on Jerry the Tech God thread**. Everyone sees it and thinks, “Oh, someone started a thread to talk about the “lavish praise on Jerry the Tech God” thread. I haven’t even read that thread yet so I’m not prepared to discuss it”. 😉 ---
