Your name still appears in the credits section with each render :)

With all due regards, it was mostly the BBS crowd and some devoted
Compuserve folk who formed the POV-Ray community. It is now a world of
its own. People are constantly working on improvements, adding
features, hunting bugs, writing or re-writing documentation, creating
scenes and include files (and macros), etc. This very news server has
proven to be a binding force for POVers all over the world, with
visitors being helpful (mostly harmless :) ) folk with a strong sense
of community.

As of your appearance here, it is a honour for all of us. Your name is
likely as well known as those of Chris Young, Dan Farmer or Mike
Miller (there was a recent rush for locating Mike Miller's works). As
someone (Ken?) said, it has been immortalised. I hope your stay will
be long.
