Did you see there's a new high-score in Thwack? Congratulations to Eric for breaking 500,000 points!

CourtesyIT has set the bar even higher by breaking the 500,000 point range.

What next? 20 Gold Medals in the IT Olympics? I wouldn't be surprised!

Way to go, Eric! Your packets are swiftest!

Contrary to popular belief, he is a real person. I have met him on a previous contract. We 'worked' together briefly. He once ran a marathon because it was on his way. Mosquitoes refuse to bite him purely out of respect. He is not a script/ bot/ program as best I can tell. Although I did not administer the Turing test.

  Some say his amazing network insight is actually the result of sharing mind space in the Etheric with a Kurtherian Artificial Intelligence. And that his socks say SolarWinds no matter whether worn normally OR INSIDE-OUT!
  
  Some say his meteoric rise to Thwack super-stardom is the result of his learning native Alaskans' ability to channel Earth and Wind and Sky power, and that his Misenheimer connection is a cover for working forty-two levels below the NSA's awareness.
  
  Some say he let his HOPV Certifications expire as a possible ruse to infiltrate Solarwinds surreptitiously, and that his military connections are subcutaneously virtual.
  
  Some say that The Alamo is actually a Layer 13 implementation of his, and that it transcends all machine understanding.

  Let me know when you have time, I would be happy to meet you for lunch at "The Smoke Shack" on Broadway.
  
  Unless you prefer a different establishment. I was wondering it ChrystalT or wluther might want to join us. But it would be a long trip for wluther.

CourtesyIT doesn't really exist anymore. For he is now the physical embodiment of Thwack.

  I guess they will never come back, but I really miss Jarts (lawn darts). Remember those? Like a cross between beanbag toss and javelin throwing, with a smidgeon of danger... For extra danger, add libations.
  
  Note: I am not in favor of jorts coming back, perhaps jarts though.
