As long as I'm answering questions, I want to tell you guys a funny story that happened to me a couple of years ago.
When I was working for EMC, I went on a business trip to Las Vegas. I flew out of San Francisco Int'l Airport and parked in long-term parking. When I arrived, the garage was full and they had this weird system in which they tell you the garage is full as you drive up to it, give you a couple of sheets of paper, and have you drive back out the gate, across the street, and into an overflow lot. Some of you SF Bay Area people may know what I'm talking about.
I thought the process was ridiculous. When I got back home, I wrote a letter to the airport authority asking why not put up a sign right at the parking approach sending people directly to the overflow lot?
Several days later, I got a nice letter on SFO letterhead from someone in the parking division, explaining that they agreed and hoped to fix the problem someday.
The letter continued onto the back of the page...and when I turned it over, it said something like:
"And if this is from the Chris Allingham of The Virtual Weber Bullet, thanks for your great barbecue website!"
I was absolutely floored!
