On a personal note, I found this very meaningful:
I was once told,
"never meet your heroes." However, in the Unix community, by and large
my heroes are wonderfully pleasant, generous, and kind people in real
life, all of whom have either indirectly or directly had a profound
influence on the course of my career and life. Thank you for that; it
was an honor to share space with you.
I couldn't agree more. Starting with Dennis, everyone has been willing
to share knowledge. I have a memory of Dennis having "handlers" at
Usenix so one person wouldn't eat up all of his time.
Much thanks to all those shoulders that lifted us up.
