I trust the "maniacal" will be removed from the name soon.

Most of us early Linux FOSS hackers lucked into secure jobs. Jon et al chose a less lucrative yet indispensable role. I don't think this small contribution is maniacal at all!

It should obviously be replaced with "fanatical". That level could then come with neat red uniforms.

it looks like the numbers next to the names are being reset as people upgrade, if that is the case then it means that is about two days (by the time I got around to upgrading), over 300 people have opted to pay 4x the prior max amount.

wow, I expected my fellow readers to support this, I didn't expect this many of us this quickly

I hope that people maintain this level of support and don't have to drop back down over time.

No, we're not doing anything with the numbers. I'd actually thought of that, but decided against it. You have the number you've always had. Just the stars are new :)
