Matt- On behalf of all the lowly leechers and users of the team's framework, we'd like to say thank YOU. You have made it all happen, and although there are a few outliers who may think its not beautiful, Hobo is a wonderfully useful and extremely well-supported project. I can't tell you how happy I get when I see that you or any other core contributor responds to someone's post. And it never seems to matter the level of complexity in the question. It would be so easy to look at the cursory questions and say, "oh someone else will figure that one out".
And now I end this rambling smattering of compliments and return to the real world to do "work". Thanks again!
