John's staying, but I got the axe. :)  I was going to wait a while to make
this post, but there's no time like the present, intoxicated or not. :P

Whether or not I had problems with any of you over the years I worked
here, I really, really enjoyed it.  It was by far the best year and 
eight months of my life (*way* better than megsinet :)  We've got
some of the coolest users there are out there on the internet and I'm
glad I got to help get a good deal of you online when I was tech support
and keep a good deal of you happy when I was a sysadmin.

So, I'll be around.  Right now I have a personal account at enteract.
Anyone who cares to can email me at phukit@enteract.com (yes, that was
me.. :).  Please remember that WorldWide Access/verio is still staffed
by people who truly care about all of you although it may not seem like
it.  Verio may not be the best company in the world, but as long as you
have some of the old WWA people, (sabrina, john, stan, amy, etc.) you'll
still be in great hands.  There's a reason I'm keeping an account here.
If verio will shell out the money for that new computer room, it'll be
incredible..

BTW, anyone who may be waiting on me for any type of resolution to 
any type of problem is SOL, (sorry, I've wanted to say that for years :).
But seriously, if you're waiting on a particular person to give you any
type of info, he/she may not be there anymore so go through normal support
channels.

BTW as well, I'd like to extend a personal note of thanks to a couple of 
people who don't get anywhere near the recognition they deserve.  John 
and Sabrina helped me more than I could ever explain.  Aside from being 
patient and answering all my stupid questions, they never ever forgot
why they were there.  Our customers always came first with them and that 
attitude rubbed off on me.  I had many discussions that got heated and out 
of hand with both of them, but everyone felt so strongly about the company
we helped build.  I have an incredible amount of respect for both of them
and will never ever forget them.  I could go on and on for pages, but I'll
just leave it at a very public, "thank you for everything".

The same goes for Dyane, the best boss on the whole planet.  I don't think
I'll ever find a more understanding, cooler supervisor as long as I live. :)

It's been a trip..
