Rehoi,

A small explanation and a small thank you:

I asked you ppl to help me if you could with my record attempt. Lots of you
did, and i want to thank you for that.

But I heard a lot of ppl saying 'I did it for 60 hours' or even more. I know
some of you did, and i am not trying to say I did better than any of you
could. it's just that my attempt was a real Guinness attempt, when I went to
the toilet no one noticed, but it was a two minutes break to Guinness. As
well they wanted me to have academical conversations, as said before. That
was real hard to do, so it is still the question whether Guinness will
accept it as a record or not.

But, as i was saying: all of you who found the time to log in, and tried to
help me out, thank you very much. It all went to quick and it all was too
much, but I remember a few names I want to annonounce here:
Thank you very much:

Alyosha, for having patience with some newbies ;-)
Sweetpea, for standing by a long time
Frank, for deleting me, and therefore waking me up ;-)
Anna, who was awake until I think 4 am her time to stay with me from 8 till
10 my time, the hardest time of the attempt. I owe you one.
I recall Anna Matthews as an operator, and I remember her as one of the
best. Like I said, i had to keep up some academic level in my conversations,
and I talked a lot about relay-ethics, and specifically if operators should
obey to some rules, so 'normal users' don't depend on the mood of an
operator. I guess you know what I mean. Anna was an operator who was always
constant in her decisions, a matter-of-fact operator, Then some Valdis took
away her * - privileges. I don't know why, but I am voting for giving Anna
her * back!

To all the other ppl not mentioned specifically: thank you very much, and if
you are trying to break 'our' record, just let me know, I'll be stand-by,
and i will break yours again! ;-)

Kind Regards,

Jumbo/Michel Weenink
