Matt has always been one of the first to help out a new member find their way around the board, or to keep things around the here civil and organized. Much of the behind the scenes work to keep the site humming along and working for everyone can be attributed to Spatman's good work. Countless updates to the source code that went on under the hood were carried out by him during the wee hours of the night, so that we could all enjoy conversing, planning and sharing our many dives without much interruption. Perhaps most unnoticed were his tireless efforts to keep spammers off of the board, a mostly thankless and always endless job that many of us don't notice, but we all benefit from greatly.
Please join me in thanking and wishing our NWDC brother the best in his new adventures in life and parenting, and may the Force always be with him!
