... and while I am at it, as this is the U.S. Thanksgiving...

My sincere thanks to the many R developers and documenters who
contribute large amounts of their personal time and effort to
developing, improving, and enhancing the accessibility of R for data
analysis and science. I believe it is fair to say that R has had as
much or more impact than Gosset's Student's T, and I fear that
academics who do much of this work do not receive the professional
recognition they deserve. I continue to be amazed and humbled by their
high quality and consummate professionalismism -- I could not live
without R.

Kind regards and best wishes to all,

-- Bert

Bert you said it better than I ever could.  What R creators, developers, and
documenters do for us every day by how they effect our work as statisticians
is something I would not know how to measure.  THANK YOU!
