This is a good post to read. I hope it has restored some spring to Tore's step. I wasn't joking at all when I said those who are regulars know how good he is. We also don't know about the people we have helped even though they didn't acknowledge it. One of my favorite quotations is attributed to Henry Adams: "A teacher affects eternity; he can tell where his influence stops."
