Dear Ravi - I echo everything you wrote, useR2010 was an amazing experience (for me, and for many others with whom I have spoken about it). Many thanks should go to the wonderful people who put their efforts into making this conference a reality (and Kate is certainly one of them). Thank you for expressing feelings I had using your own words.
