Anyway luckydue - good spotting in finding it those years ago and thanks for all your effort. As a linux user, I appreciate the effort all the linux hackers make.

The Linux kernel guys are an impressive bunch. I've helped but I'm not in their league. I did BitKeeper to help Linus. He's a great programmer, architect, and manager, and in ~25 years in the industry I've never met another guy with his skill set.

In spite of all the shit I've taken for the choices I have made, I'd do it all over again to help Linus. That guy is unique. I know you guys like him but I think few people really realize how unique he is. He's a big deal, I am not.
