- Peter and Stephe,
-
- I infer from all the unwarranted flattery that you can both lie
- with straight faces, a useful character trait for the standards
- politician. :-)
-
- My sincere thanks go out to everyone for the most stimulating,
- pleasant job I've ever had. At the top of the list are John
- Quarterman, Ellie Young, _every_ snitch, Carolyn Carr, Kirk McKusick,
- and Judy Williams, but everyone else with whom I got to interact just
- added to the pleasure. Thanks also to both of you for helping me
- weasel out of the job easily without feeling too guilty.
-
- It's important to correct one thing in your posting. At the outset, I
- did all the work on my own time. After a few meetings, Heinz Lycklama
- somehow pulled strings to let me begin charging two weeks of meetings
- a year to overhead. This was both a boon to me (I don't work for
- Heinz, by the way, though I suspect the time came out of his budget)
- and a service to USENIX. He deserves credit and thanks for it.

- Whew. I'll say.

- "Get a British IR and a Canadian editor and spelling will go to
- hell in a handbasket," I warned. But would anybody listen?
- Noooo ....
-
- With warmest regards and deepest appreciation,
- Jeff
