Paul Courry -Congratulations !!!!!!!

[Patrick Wallek]

Way to go Paul. Another member of the Royal court. Now ALL of the top 25 are crown-wearers.

Amazing.

Keep it up Paul.

[Andreas D. Skjervold]

Congratulations Paul !!

How would my day be without you and your fellow Gold Crowners.

You seem to have the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything.

Congrats, Paul! Multi-Processor Executive or not ;-)

And Rita, as long as HP doesn't resort to "body piercing" when the hats run out, I guess we'll be alright.

Cheers,
Jim

Okay, here's the speech.....

My fellow Terrans,

It is too narrow to say Americans, the number of people on this list and on the top 25 says that this forum has become truly international. We come from all countries, and span the IT spectrum.

We have come together for one purpose, to help one another. Whether we hail from India, Sweden, Canada or the US our purpose is clear, and that is to help the next generation of IT professionals like we were helped.

We've been successful at it, darn successful. We will continue to be successful at it as long as we ignore our differences and pay attention to how alike we are. This is our challenge; to continue to extend the hand of fellowship to everyone regardless of race, creed or nationality, demanding only that they have a desire to learn and to teach in turn.

Okay, here are the individual replies....

Bill: Enough of a speech for you? Pompous enough?

Clay: Reform? Humph MPE forever!

Jim: Does this make me a four letter king like in the Elvis song? (Unix)

John: Really strange scripts?! John, MPE has been around since 1972. I think it qualifies as a fully mature, ain't nothing strange about it, OS. Gett yourself a Commands manual and RTFM.

Rita: I'd go to Hawaii with you anytime. (Bring your laptop)

Sridhar: Not every field Dridhar, I'm only in the top five in four fields, most fields I don't have a single point in.

Andreas: We all know the answer to Life, the Universe and everything is 42.

To all.... THANKS!,
