Really!  Have you guys been holding out on me?  Geez!  After I offered
you a beer and pizza, John... You know these guys for years, and then
you learn something like this... I'm crushed!

I guess I'm not going to name my first born male child Lenny John now.

Actually, I was very impressed by the high quality and efficiency of
the software work that was done to bring this about.  Very impressive,
very complete and very bullet proof!  The efficiency and speed of such 
a large scale networked application to perform line busying definately
is a showcase of a product designed to handle so many different
conditions in such a rapid fashion.  I hope to strive to those levels
someday...

Oh, by the way, obligatory :-)'s all over the place for the sarcastically
or humor impaired.
