It should be abundantly clear to even a Muppet that Dennis Howlett knows what he wants and knows how to get it. Had we known each other professionally say ten years ago, Dennis and I might have enjoyed a somewhat strained and mutually distrusting, hack vs. vendor relationship. I'm sure there's still some potential for disagreement and imbalance in this new decloaked world, but there's a darn sight more potential for trust and respect too.

I'm particularly enjoying watching him relish in the prospect of building his own corner and place in the new world of business and publishing, his enthusiasm and passion is palpable.
