Joe Offer is a colossus; he has donated years of his life to keeping this place running, handling the margins, dealing with the flamers, the zombies, the Emos and the psychos in order that the rest of us can have a decent cyberparlor in which to discuss everything under the sun. He has also done hundreds and hundredso of hours of volunteer work in support of the DT and the music threads, indexing, adding, and researching.

He deserves a great deal of thanks, and so do his volunteer "clones", for all he has done to keep the place ticking over.

Compared to what he has contributed to the Cat, the rare occasions when he has whupped me up 'longside the haid for various offenses are trivial bumps and chaff.
