I second Arxtix's appreciation. Not only has TM demonstrated a high level of expertise, but also the patience, levelheadedness, and sound reasoning abilities needed when dealing with (and moderating) strong-headed, often stubborn posters - like me.
There have been several heated debates over the last couple years between us (generally over poorly defined policies by some hardware makers and most notably, a major software company). But as I just recently said to TM, I considered them healthy discussions because they did not digress in to personal insult slinging, but rather a learning experience with
sound reasoning and links to substantiating evidence.
I highly recommend doubling his salary!
