Dear Ravi - I echo everything you wrote, useR2010 was an amazing experience
(for me, and for many others with whom I have spoken about it).
Many thanks should go to the wonderful people who put their efforts into
making this conference a reality (and Kate is certainly one of them).
Thank you for expressing feelings I had using your own words.

Best,
Tal
