Not to be a dick Tom, but I actually mentioned Ezra.  If you helped
write the code he cranks out and contributes then sorry.  Otherwise, I
was praising EY because of Ezra's work.

Bradley also bought me a sweet iPod nano red that helps fight AIDS and
with the engraving "Faster Is Possible, Thanks for Mongrel". That's way
more kick ass than money, that's someone just being nice.  Or how Apple
gave all the people who contributed to Mongrel free OSX seed keys and a
trip to WWDC.

I think the worst was someone who insisted on buying me a drink even
though I insisted I don't drink.

Anyway, I'll plan hold you to that offer if/when I start doing the 2.0
plan.

Yeah, guys like me are a dying breed.  I couldn't imagine being a slave
to someone else because of intellectual laziness.
