Congrats thebrofessor.

I've been buried on a deal so haven't been online much lately.

Thanks to everyone for the nominations and kind words in the other thread, really appreciate it. I feel like this forum gave me a lot as I lurked during school, I try to give back where I can.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
