    Sorry to hear about your unexpected leave from Orlando. Hopefully I'll have a chance to meet you next year. p.s. Paul did a great job presenting the server crash session.

      Sorry doesn't even come close to how I feel but I never had a doubt that Paul would do an amazing job.
      Unless you also attend the two View conferences, I'll see you next year

    To be honest, the deciding factor for me in deciding to pay for Lotusphere out of my own pocket was so I could meet you.

    @Charles, but now that Alton Brown was there...

    As for you, sorry you had to leave the conference and that we didn't end up with much of a chance to talk. Good luck moving forward and let me know if you need an ear again in the future. I have two.

      @Charles, next time you wanna see me that badly, don't give 3K to IBM, just call me and we'll find much more creative ways to spend that cash.

      @Ed, not sure your left-over ear will cut it but thanks for the offer
