I've had the pleasure of spending time with Dave several times at MS in Seattle over the years, and have always enjoyed our exchanges, whether it be in person, in email or on IM.  I remember it was Dave who first showed me Quick Tabs way back when IE was still in early beta, long before the public saw a glimpse of it, and it was also Dave who jumped in and called in the troops when a Beta of IE7 broke the style sheets I was using for www.ie-vista.com.  The change that broke www.ie-vista.com happened after the changes to CSS were code complete, and should not have happened, but he and Marcus helped get things fixed very very quickly indeed.

Dave has always been a great champion for the end user, and has always been responsive, and helpful, sometimes going above and beyond the call of duty when I've yelled for help.

It's sad that I won't see Dave (and his beautiful car) Wink when I'm at the MVP Summit in Seattle in March, but I know that he's doing the right thing for him and his beautiful family.
