Of course, Alex didn't mention that there are actually 117,000 hits, and 
the last thousand have nothing to do with programming ;-)

Alex, thanks for your congratulations, as no public announcement has yet 
been made (apart from at OSCON) I haven't mentioned the Frank Willison

the honor.

regards
  Steve
