In case you think that Rodolfo is the only one who feels that way, he
isn't.
Dan has a dry, laconic and economical writing style. He delivers enormous
value to this community with dead-on answers. I don't know how he stores
this almost endless supply of;
"this-is-exactly-the-URL-that-answers-YOUR-unique-question"
but...hell, he serves up answers that are simply "great answers" there's
no other way to put it. Oh, and as a further validation of genuine regard
for the man and his contributions, I too have had recorded differences
of **opinion** with Dan. His technical expertise however simply cannot be
touched with a ten foot pole.
