(from the LH lounge @DUS - Sunday 11/12 0905 local time)

I would like to post a huge THANK YOU to the three hosts that we all had at the FT DUS Event this weekend. Kudos to Bernie, Mizu and Rudi.

This was my first FT gathering, but it doesn't take a veteran to realize all the preparatory work and planning that these three Gentlemen undertook. The superb results were there for all to see and enjoy. Bernie went the extra leg by opening his house to the bunch of FT rowdys (you are one brave dude, Bernie), Mizu risked the wrath of this supervising professor by taking time off from researching his doctoral thesis (on how to chase girls on the internet) and conjuring up a sophisticated website tool for all to use and see, and Rudi (after meeting him there's no way Im calling him Papst again... ) was his usual self, coordinating traffic, worrying about the FTalkers that were late, annoying waiters by doing their job for them, and picking fights for other people at a local pub.... LOL ....

Once again, this was a great weekend, and kudos for a great organizing job.

It was great to meet all of the FT brethren present, and I look forward to continue seeing/meeting all of you on the boards and around the world.

Muchisimas gracias,
