I know 'atta boy' comments are explicitly against list rules, but I'm willing to risk this one (apologies in advance Dale, do what you must): Richard, that comment made me spit beer (New Belgium Springboard if it matters) all over my keyboard and monitor. If you'd made that comment to my face I would have bought you a drink after I picked myself up off the floor, then bought myself a drink and poured it over your head.

Bravo!
