Joe, Trevor is a nice guy who is voluntarily busier than a one-legged 
man in a butt kicking contest. 

He has taken a big bite, and, I believe he took it because of his 
dedication to the midrange system and his desire to do more than pee and 
moan about it.  As you say, for that he deserves commendation.  He also 
deserves commendation for his energies and his ability to speak.  His 
presentations are always wonderful and educational.

In short, I stand four-square behind you, Joe, in commending Trevor for 
his energies and efforts.
