Well, for what ever my little lamer vote is worth, I vote a very BIG thumbs
up on bizzy. He used to be the sysadmin at Flex (aloha.com) and has helped
me to configure a lot of Flex specific stuff (notably homepages and how to
properly set them up at Flex). I know he has been around longer than me on
PoundMac because when I entered for the first time he said, "Aloha" to me
and I totally freaked out because I couldn't figure out how he knew that I
was from the islands as well. ;)
We also need more ops from Hawaii so we can control things when all you
mainlanders are sleeping. Mtreal is usually on, but sometimes she isn't.
Oh well, I'd just thought I'd share my opinions. bizzy is cool (and his
essay kicks) so I hereby vote "yup".
Quigzy
