John, thanks for being such a stalwart member of the bourgeoning
configuration management community we all share.  I hope you stick
around and meet some of the folks who work with, and use, Chef every
day.

I posted some comments on your blog, which I hope you'll find useful.

If there is anything I, or the chef community, can do to help you
understand how Chef works, let me know.

Best,
Adam
