Thank you Dick for taking the time to recruit Stephen for this task.
Thank you Stephen for stepping up to the plate to take on this role.  If
you have any questions or need any help, please feel free to ask the
developers list or me directly.  You are providing developers an
invaluable service by cutting down on the user generated noise on the
developers list.  It is the least we developers can do to make your job
as painless as possible.  Of course being recruited by Dick means that
he feels you are capable of doing the job.  In my experience, the bar
that Dick sets is fairly high so we will be expecting great things from
you;)
