Jim,

Hearty congratulations to you my good friend! I will miss seeing you in LA this year, so hoist a few for me, too. (You know I always recommend a fine German beer like Paulaner Original Munich.)

One of these days I'll get back to full-time forums -- if I can make 'em quit bugging me with work. [grin]

Job well done, Jim. Thanks for the guidance, inspiration, and friendship.

Cheers,
Jim

yesterday when i swa the new hat's thread about 10:30 am i noticed JRF had made a comment. i was suprised he wasn't in the top teir, so i went to his profile. he was 40 points away. i figured this would be up by the time i got here today.

Congrats JRF.

your willingness to lend out your insightful opinions and great wealth of knowledge makes you very worthy of this honor.
my only question, will they give you another hat to strive for before you get your second olympian?

[Kimberly Ann]

Jim,

Incredible accomplishment, really. Your new Olympian status is simply a testament to your IT experience, vast knowledge, willingness to help others, and perserverance.

You are steadfast in purpose, providing daily guidance to both young and wise IT professionals. Your contributions are invaluable. Congratulations.

Josh and Kenny Chau are currently the only repliers to this thread without hats -- something tells me they will soon be donning their pro hat under your leadership.

Thanks Jim for making these forums the place for IT professionals.

Best Regards,
Dan

Now Jim,

Following on with the recent traditions that have been made in the forums, I call on you to enlighten us with a few words of wisdom from the great JRF, for those of us who have never met you..... One thing I always wanted to know: DO you really have a team of clones????

Cheers on carrying the ITRC Olympic torch!

Michael

[Steven Sim Kok Leong]

I don't see how it's possible, it's not as if I've been slacking off tooo much since Jim reached the 10k only a few months ago...

Later,
Bill
