Thank you sir. That's a real honor to make the top 7 list again! Coming from other programming communities (not gonna name any names. Let's just say it rhymes with Smheddit) I've never seen a more supportive, more helpful, more genuinely interested community in the welfare and success of one another. It's a real pleasure.
