I have co-signed every check since 2005. Keith has given me a verbal on the balance from time to time, but I haven't seen a written or historical accounting in a while. I trust Keith doesn't want to do something dumb like bounce a check, and you can ask him about how skeptical and severe I am when it comes to COUNTER-signing. After all, most of this money originated from my employer. By the way, do you have receipts for reimbursement of FOSDEM costs?
