davatsa is being very humble. I had the opportunity to spend some (limited) quality time with both him and Papa Ahvatsa. Without tipping his hand (a veritable straight flush of humility), davatsa has already exercised considerable due diligence and preparation necessary get him to this critical step in a very impressive career. Well done, sir.
I don't know why this struck me as funny (one can never tell when something strikes JHAP as being funny, why am I talking in third person, shut up I'm trying to get a point across here, who the heck are you to tell me to shut up... you shut up, no YOU shut up, DON'T tell ME what to do) anyhoo the above sentence posted by Brettski reminds me of the Talking Head lyrics....
You talk a lot, but you aren't saying anything.Anyway, David I guess you have to be mature and do the right thing (I hate it when that happens) but we're really going to miss you.
