Excellent work, all. Really, my only regret (perhaps not yours, eh? heh...) is
that I could not be there to cheer you on. I hope that someday soon I will have
the guts, and the self control (;-)) to be a part of something like this
without being too tempted to beat the hell out of the other side just for my
own jollies. I'm workin' on that.

Once again, brilliant job, all that is good in the world flows from this kind
of spirit, don't ever let the Scrooges get you down, you're fightin' the
good fight (without fighting, of course) :-)
