Re: David Gibbs recognition!

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This list is one of the brightest lights in the IBM i world, and David 
deserves every iota of credit for that.  The crowning achievement to me 
is that he's been able to keep this list true to its purpose all this 
time.  That's a testament to his relatively light but absolutely firm 
management. He's built a real community here, and all it requires is an 
occasional gentle admonishment.  Heck, we monitor ourselves.  How many 
times does a post start with something along the lines of, "Before David 
steps in..."

I've heard rumors that on occasion he sends a private email to address 
more egregious behavior, but I can neither confirm nor deny...
