Though I'm not as eloquent on the matter as the many others who have shared their appreciation for what Bruce Elgort has done for the community, I wanted to be sure to pitch in as well. I have been active in this community for a relatively short amount of time, but even before that Bruce's was one of the names I knew looking in from outside, from his personal contributions to the Taking Notes podcast and to his leadership of OpenNTF. And since I started being actively involved in the community, all of my interactions with him have been not only pleasant, but encouraging and inspirational.

So: thanks, Bruce!
