Darren Neimke sent this email to an internal discussion thread we had going today:

>> I would like to say thanks to Paul for staying up late and working through with me on the project. I owe you a beer, or whatever you like.

Bibhakar, we might not have told you this but Paul Stovell is not actually a real person – he’s a software agent.  We’re actually running a pool of them.  So while one instance of him was up late helping you with WiX there were actually hundreds of instances of him running last night helping people all over the globe.  In fact, we received an email just this morning from a young lad in China who thanked Paul for spending 10 hours with him last night in assisting him with a .NET threading issue.

So no beer need change hands :)

LOL
