Re: David Gibbs recognition!

Perhaps overstating, but this is why we in the community come here - it's a safe place, vendors almost 100% respect this. Hey, why do you think there was an occasional <verndor response> when I was at RJS Software? I sure didn't want "gentle admonishment" from David! BTW, that "HTML-ish" tag was originally a typo that I thought was kind of funny - I think someone even borrowed it once!!

I can confirm those emails towards "egregious behaviors", unfortunately. lol

Well said Joe Pluta - and yes, he's kept is true and consistent.

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...

I agree. On this List, there are many giants upon whose shoulders I
stand, and he must certainly be counted among them.

I was not the slightest bit aware that he worked for O'Reilly Auto
Parts. They've been my auto parts dealer of first choice for years,
ever since Kragen became a part of O'Reilly.
