SEP is "Branching Out"

It seems that my esteemed colleague and friend, Steven Protter has suddenly sprouted a bunch of leaves on his head!

Thanks to his untiring dedication and hard work, Steven has joined the hallowed ranks of the Forums Olympians. The trail he blazed across the desert is going to be even easier to follow than the empty beer bottles and overflowing trash cans that Harry and I left. Please join me as I welcome him to Olympus and be sure also to offer him your heartiest congratulations.

Well done, my friend, well done indeed!

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

Excellent job Steven and Congrats - you deserve it!

Looks like "MORE ORACLE INSTALL ERRORS" put you over the top.

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

I'm not sure which thread did it, but it was a 5 point answer, not the 8 pointer that he got from "More Oracle Install Errors".

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

I don't have any cheesy comments to add :) and I usually stay away from congrat threads because they aren't technical... anywho, you deserve a congrats. I've read a lot of your posts and gained quite a bit from your contributions.

congrats SEP!

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

Hi,

As soon as he left the desert, green leaves sprouted from his head. He finally passed the final frontier. Now he can rest the moderate climate of the Olympus and send lightnings upon the mortals, who still strife to join the immortals. ;-)

Congratulations!!

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

Uuuhhh - Congrats Steven!!

It must have been 12 or 13 months for you to reach the highest level.
Always in forum to give an excellent answer and I believe you would have been much faster with a connection to ITRC server without 404's and others.
;-)) Sorry Dan, couldn't resist ;-))

Also you path is very well to see (full of dust clouds) I believe most of us cannot follow you.
And some are still rotating in your turbulences. ;-))

Best wishes

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

Steven (A.K.A. SEP),

Your contributions to this forum in general are many.

Your work in the HP-UX section has been seen and appreciated by many. I can't say that I have ever read a post from you in that area without learning something (except for the times that the answers were completely over my head and just made my brain hemorrhage!). Many of us have benefited from both your knowledge and humor.

You have also taken the Linux forums under your wing recently and shown them the light (in a manner of speaking) and now that part of the forums so closely resembles the HP-UX section that it is hard to tell them apart at times. No easy task, but you made it look as if it were.

It is obvious to me that you are both well liked and well respected in these forums.

This honor was and is well placed. I can think of nobody who deserves it any more so than you.

My congratulations to you on your achievements both in accumulating the points for this new ranking and in making so many friends in the process. Neither of these accomplishments would be considered easy by themselves, but you have managed both in a rather short period of time.

Enjoy your stay on Mt. Olympus!


With much respect,
John


PS. Can you try to keep Pete in line a little better? It seems as if he has become somewhat immune to the magic from Hogwarts. Perhaps someone with the same ranking will have enough strength to do what the rest of us seem unable to do ;-)

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

Congratulations Steven!

Wow! I checked my posts and on Jan. 23rd I started a thread congratulating you for reaching the level of Wizard. On Feb. 27th I started another thread to honor you for your royal crown. Pete welcomed you to the dunes on June 5th.
Time waits for no man, and Steven waits for no hat!

Thank you for your tireless devotion to the forum, for sharing your knowledge, for your humor, and for your opinions which are always welcome. You are now in some fine company.

Be sure to wake up your neighbors on Mount Olympus, as a couple of the residents seem to have fallen asleep. :)

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

Pete,

The guilty almost never consider themselves as such.

Don't believe me? Just go to a prison in person and ask how many of the people there think they are truly guilty!


John

(No, I'm not saying that you belong in prison. Should I be saying that? Never mind, don't want to know!!)

Re: SEP is "Branching Out"

*No points please*

Looking at his progress:

407 days to pro (0.61 pts/day)
8 days to grad (62.5 pts/day)
35 days to wiz (28.5 pts/day)
35 days to king (71.4 pts/day
99 days to pharoah (76.5 pts/day)
169 days to salad (118.3 pts/day!)

continuing at that rate would give him 50K by next august!!!

It's amazing that anyone new manages to post answers with such talented people on these forums, SEP being among the foremost.

Congrats again!
