CV-

You have my sympathies. I bet most of us on the board would agree: the best measure of a man is not accomplishment, but effort. You have displayed plenty of effort. You still have my respect and support.

As one of the unofficial masters of weak metaphors, I have one for you! Not everyone can win the Tour De France. All us SAs have to do is stay on our bikes and finish to demonstrate both effort and accomplishment. It is terrible that you got knocked off your bike but you can still finish.

Good fortune on the next stage, CV. We will be routing for you.
