[Coco] Aaron's apology and Coco Contest Results

[Frank Pittel]

Allen,

I have to agree that this years fest was unusual. There was an energy and excitment I haven't seen since I started going
to the fest. If you look at the posts on the mailing list and conversations on the coco IRC channel you can see it. There's
new hardware being designed and built as well as new software being written!

The Other Frank

It appeared to me anyways, that you were making a good natured "ribbing" toward John, and there is no way anyone who was watching should have or could have taken it any other way but two old friends needling each other. I am not sure who took offence to it, other than someone who was telling someone else about it and no seeing the whole thing in context. I wouldn't worry to much about it, you did a fantastic job trying to bring the even to us, who could not be there. Allen did a great job filling in also. I, for one, want to thank all the effort it was for you to do what you did at the fest and the side projects- I, at least, appreciated it, and if someone got bent out of shape for you having a bit of fun with John, then they need to get a life.

Without seeing it in context, and just reading those words, I figured others might have been confused too. I certainly was puzzled at why the whole fest started picking on Linville ;-)
