We keep talking about how it's amazing that this is still happening and it really is. But I think we're done with that talk now. I was having a conversation with a CTO at another cloud service provider and he had a poster on his home office wall... "Consistency is what transforms average into excellent." Thanks for being a consistent listener / viewer!
