Thanks for starting this way back then, the amount of value created directly and indirectly is immeasurable.
That said, I'm very doubtful of the likelihood of me contributing something novel and useful to the GIS world -- I'm keep to learn from and stand on the shoulders of giants that got us here for at least the first bit of my foray into GIS before trying to contribute something fresh, RTFM and all that. To be fair it has taken 15 years to whittle down this particular wheel, starting from scratch feels almost disrespectful -- I'll leave that for younger explorers.
