I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I won't.
I will just say, Keith, that sounds like a fair summation.
In my personal dealings with Khen Lim he seems honest, open, genuine, and
very experienced. I have no reason to doubt him or the information he has
shared with all of us, and with me personally. I have quite enjoyed having
him around, and have found him to be very quick to listen and help. I
consider him a friend. I am hopeful that, in time, others here will as well.
