Thanks, Jeremy - exactly right for exactly the right reasons.

At the same time, in fairness to those who (like me, until helpfully
corrected last fall) find it easier to use "AoIR 2008" rather than IR 9.0 -
I must confess that despite being at the first AoIR / IR 1.0 conference and
all of their successors, I'm just sorta now getting it...

So reminders like this are helpful!

see you in Copenhagen (and Aarhus!)
