I'm sad that I wasn't able to make it to the board meeting. While I don't live in Lebanon, I was still very interested in hearing the discussion. It's nice that out-of-townies were invited to speak and weigh in on this.

99 times out of 100, I'm extracting a gzip'd tarball. Thus, I've muscle-memorized "tar xzf file.tar.gz". What helped me do that was a little mnemonic that my friend told me: eXtract Zee File.
