I have to FULLY agree.

Every single time someone has had a resonable request, Alan responded 
immediately.

Personally I did not even know what the three a's in aaa meant when I 
got involved with freeradius.

I got ALL the info I needed from the docs.
I configured a perfectly working solution without ONE question to this 
list.  (A fairly complicated one - all the docs are there!!)

I started posting when I had a feature that did not quote work as 
exepected.  (dynamic clients).

Alan even went to the trouble to commit some code to git just to help me.

I certainly cannot fault his behaviour.

I personally run about 8 technicians.
Whenever someone asks me for advice, I always ask them. "What is the 
exact error"?
After asking for it the 100th time, I also get rude.

You should NOT have to say the same thing over and over again!!!
