Dave has endearing characteristics other than his considerable technical
expertise and long-standing willingness to share it in this newsgroup.
Another, in my opinion, is his deep wit.

In this thread Dave wrote " Every 3-6 months Hult crawls out from under a
rock []" . I (Hult) am a  geologist specializing in water who lives in a
region with some of the worlds largest and best known underground streams --
so this is literally true ;-)

Thanks Dave, for that chuckle.

We all need more good humour in this time of monumental tragedy in the
Mississippi Bay region. As a hydrologist, I am overwhelmed with anger and
renewed energy by our society's tragic failure to give sufficient priority
to well-known environmental threats. As a humanist, the callous disregard
for folks less fortunate then ourselves fills me with a profound sadness.

Thank you, Lee , for your "Plleeeeeeeeaaaaassseeee?? "

(which is both a wise request and as good a pun as I've heard this week --
even if the spelling _is_ atrocious ;-)
