Congrats, Jaes! You were one of the first Experts I had any regular contact with and got to bounce ideas off and your unfailing good humour was one of the reasons I stuck around. It has been a pleasure dealing with and learning from you and I look forward to much more of the same!

Jaes... AKA Ned with Hair. The swimmer. Mr. Finance.
So sorry for missing the big day. We were all sleeping at the wheel. I hope your recent sabbatical was not because we weren't minding the store.
The first thing I noticed about Jaes is his mature and eloquent nature. Most of the regulars here have a good sense of decorum which makes this TA so great (despite his attempts to deflect the credit many of us feel that Brad is the catalyst that makes all the goodness ooze out into the posts) and Jaes fits right in. It's one thing to learn and compete with other smart people, but to have fun getting to know them is icing on the cake. Another one of Jaes' great qualities is he never hesitates to acknowledges others for their cleverness.
Jaes has an excellent sense of humor that is so needed and appreciated these days. He also knows how to take a joke and make fun of himself. Like Nigel, I know I'm going to have a bit more fun when I see Jaes posting.
And to top it all off he knows how to do some pretty cool stuff in Excel. He probably isn't the most experienced among us but he has a very intense drive to learn and has asked me more than any one else how I did something.
Jaes, I like the way you play in our sand box. It's been a blast.
