Wow!  I'd hope onto IRC to thank you but some goof has managed to grab
my nick and subvert the nickserv so I can't login in proper.

I appreciate your appreciation and don't feel worthy of taking your hard
earned money....  I also hate to be singled out as anything "of the
year" since it's definitely unofficial (no vote or process :P) and
there's so many other people that keep evolt.org going.  If it's not too
late, I'd say donate $50 to evolt.org instead of giving it to me where
I'd just spend it on cheap wine or caffeine supplements.  :)  If it is
too late, I think you've unofficially guilted me into coming out of
retirement.
