Aw shucks, now you made me blush :-)

I know what you mean about the quality of user around here - no other list I'm 
on anywhere else comes close. I know I whinge a lot about the many wonderful 
ways Gentoo can break, but I keep coming back. Part of it is the ease of 
changing things around and trying new versions, but mostly it's because of the 
folks here.
