Sorry, but this will be my last non technical yell.

It's good to use your intelligence in solving my problems, guys. But there's
something I would like to know: is there any occasion when most of you get
together? I would really like to shake your hands and talk to you about
stuff I cannot pass to the Technet (we all know that's reality).

Have a good week-end everybody,

Ioan
