Re: [DotGNU]Rhys's Role

[Seth Johnson]

Hey Rhys,

Just want to note that you're particularly valuable to get
people oriented to the codebase -- plus your breadth of
software development expertise is important.

More should be said, to be sure, but I want to suggest you
stick around and keep it real -- even if veers off somehow.

And I want to register my appreciation and amazement for
what you've been pulling off here!

I don't what's in your head, or what exactly you've said in
IRC for instance, but I think you should hear that I think
you're valuable for many reasons, independently of the
quantity of effort you've put in.

And I'm just a lurker!  :-)
