Eek, I go almost a whole day without reading my email, and suddenly a bottle of whiskey is going to land on my doorstep? Hmm, must try that more often ;-) Ah, yes, ehm... A speech... Lemmethink : "Thank you for electing me president-for-life of the use-revolution list. At the start of my reign, I'd like to announce a few changes : all of you will transfer your assets to me, and I shall forever hold all the intellectual property rights to everything anyone on this list produces..." Wait, no good... And I should probably scratch that reference to my Nigerian friend as well... Ah, got it ! This ought to be more fitting : "I would like to thank everyone on the list ; not in the least the 'gurus' who have on countless occasions given me insights into areas I was unfamiliar with. This list is an incredible pool of knowledge, and without a shred of doubt, the gurus and many others of you would have given the same answers I did -- I (or was it one of my clones?) just beat them to it. Every time I poor myself a glass from that bottle, I will toast to you all on this list and to the people at RuntimeRevolution HQ who are empowering us all. So join me all in a toast to ourselves : Cheers!" > A final surprise. > > [snip] > > So we decided to award a Newbie prize, for the > simplest question in recent memory from the newest > recruit. > This award goes to > > Christopher S.

It's been done, so adding a line or two isn't going to help you out, I'm afraid. - the right tactic to become Listee of the Year ? don't bother answering questions the first 8 months ; you start out in March, and try and answer all questions as quickly as possible ; if it seems like someone else is going to beat you to it, drop your work and have at ! be careful not to loose momentum in May though ;-) No seriously, this list is, as other have pointed out, a great place to be ; let's keep it that way, with a little nudge from our listmom every once in a while -- we love to hear from you, Heather, and not just when you're sending out bottles ;-) Have a great day everyone !
