"I've worked with Adam almost since the beginning when he first joined IBM from Mainspring. First he was my go-to guy with spreadsheet questions, and over the years the list of reasons to go to Adam has continued to grow. I've been lucky to work with him in both formal organization roles and informal community roles. Either way, it's always a pleasure, and his responsiveness and willingness to help are just icing on the cake of getting the problem-solving answers I need." May 28, 2008
