Hi John,
Honestly I was optimistic also but...
I'm rather sorry about the whole 'punish me' line in my earlier email -
but a couple of days after I put my name on the ASF wiki someone in
India went to my facebook wall and started a survey titled 'Drew should
be kiled' yes/no. I blew it off with a joke response and FB was kind
enough to remove the survey entry - followed by a few emails over the
next couple of days with suggestions ranging from taking a long walk of
a short pier to one request to perform an act which quite frankly I
don't think is physically possible. Anyway, I should not of let the
fringe element color my interaction here.

Thanks for the offer and I'll do my best to find a way to take you up on it - shouldn't be all that hard to devise, if nothing else just knowing that there would be people hanging out on IRC at the right time would help I think.
