Congrats!

And great timing?  Didn't you just jump to the consulting world?  Should 
boost your billing rate. ;)

And visibility, for that matter.  I've known a couple MVPs in the past 
(one who doubled with the Novell forums which I mentioned earlier, in 
fact - though not at the same time), and having done the Novell thing I 
know what it does for one's reputation.  Great CV point, too.

Soon. In fact, I handed in my resignation just 2 days ago. Interesting
timing. <g>
