I propose that the board allocate funds to buy user cross (Dan Cross)
some chocolates or a credit with O'Reilley's online bookstore
(http://www.oreilly.com/store/) for getting our upgrade done in record
time and for general service to our community and our server.

Haha, thanks, Maus, I appreciate the sentiment, but it's really not needed.
 :-)

 We could consider sending him a silly hat.

 Well, it's just that we have a fund for silly hats..

Manthoms, Dan deserves a manthom.  

Vivek, if you make a donation to Grex via Paypal, and ask to keep it
anonymous, our treasurer will do so.  The only person who will know the
name on the Paypal account will be aruba (Mark Conger), the treasurer.  


And yes, Grex has had a silly hat fund for decades.  Someone decided to
make a donation to the silly hat fund, and voila!  aruba can give
further details.

I think a silly hat would be a great idea.

I do, too.  After all, since we do have the silly fund [as Mike already
pointed out], we  should USE it as the need comes up. Isn't that what
its for? :-)  And whether or not Dan  says its not necessary, he DOES
deserve one, IMHO.

OTOH, Dan has a lot of silly hats already.  Those Marine things, ya
know.

Perhaps chocolate would be better.

Haha, you guys are all too kind, but really, I Colleen is right that I don't
need any more silly hats.  That grex is up and running is reward enough, and
besides, there's still plenty of work to be done.

Re #5, first paragraph: Mathom (the program) was among the programs not ported
to OpenBSD, I understand. 

I agree with the chocolate.  And just because Dan doesn't NEED the
chocolate, its always  enjoyable to have, IMHO.  [Anytime anyone wants
to get ME some chocolate, I will not  refuse it.]  As someone I knew
down south used to say: "Chocolate is my friend." And I  agree... :-) 
She'd say the same thing about food being her friend, too.

Supposedly chocolate is better than sex. No, but it probably is the next best
thing.

Not even close.

I got a birthday card once that said "You're worth your weight in gold".

Inside it said, Actually, you're worth your weight in chocolate.  

Perhaps we should purchase Dan's weight in chocolate and give it to him.
 Using Dr. Chocolate's best chocolate of course.  

[See the chocolate item in the Kitchen conference if you don't
understand].

The mind boggles at what one would do with 185 pounds of chocolate....  :-)

Not to mention 185 pounds of sex...

How does one measure sex in pounds?

How indeed.

 re #18:
 >  How does one measure sex in pounds?

 Ask a British prostitute.

Haha. Nice.

Re: #21. Heh.

re #18
>  How does one measure sex in pounds?
I guess you could use a pedometer?  8D

"How does one measure sex in pounds?"

In some instances, you can wait 9 months and then measure...

They probably only take euros now.

Erm, not in the UK, Dave.

re #26
In Romania, you can ask for lay (lei)

Wouldn't asking for 'a lay' with/from someone possibly create another
living being around  nine months down the road?

 Of course if you're doing some sort of swap with a Romanian and you're
 only getting one lei per pound you're not getting a good deal at all..

This item is hideous.

I agree.  Sending cross chocolate turns my stomach.

Why?

 Well, after the ticker-tape parades and the declaration of January 1st
 as "International Dan Cross Day", it just seems a little much, don't you
 think?

A little much?  No of course not.  :-)

Okay, sure, but I think I'd be the one who got sick if 185 pounds of chocolate
showed up in the mail for me, not Todd.

Sorry, I just don't have a sweet tooth.  I'd rather send some bootcamp after
shave to Dan. ;)

A Col. and a LCpl are sitting in the barber shop both getting a haircut. The
Barber finishes the Col's hair and asks if the Col would like some after shave
lotion. The Col replies "HELL NO, If I came home smelling like that my wife
will think I've been hanging out in a French Whorehouse". The second Barber
asks the LCpl if he'd like any aftershave lotion. The LCpl replies "Yes
please, MY WIFE doesn't know what a French Whorehouse smells like"

kudos to cross for fixing htings.
