P.S. Thanks for your kind words. I intend to do my best to add value to the SI threads I follow.

Technology guru and financier Denzil Doyle is handing over the reins of his business consulting firm to his son.
Jeffrey Doyle, 32, and his business partner, Glenn McDougall, 44, will run Doyletech Corp., which the senior Mr. Doyle founded in 1982 to provide business planning services to public and private-sector enterprises. Noting he devotes most of his time to being chairman of Capital Alliance Ventures Inc., the venture-capital firm he started in 1994, he said: "I can't run (Doyletech) forever myself, and there's a lot more to be done" with the consulting company.
Even so, he is not leaving Doyletech entirely. He will remain on a part-time basis to provide business management assistance to the new partners, and to continue using Doyletech as a vehicle for delivering his technology business seminars and workshops.
Jeffrey Doyle, who holds a bachelor of commerce degree from Carleton University, intends to broaden Doyletech's scope to provide a range of economic development, business planning and market research services to eastern Ontario companies and municipalities.
The company will target the technology industry, with a primary goal being to help outside companies and municipalities sell services and products to Ottawa's high-tech sector.
"I'd like to see (the new partners) produce a product, a huge volume on how to sell to the high-tech industry, and out of that, clients will come," Denzil Doyle said.
"The high-tech industry is taking off, and there's no market research company in Ottawa that can do what we want to do," said Jeffrey Doyle.
Doyletech will also continue distributing Denzil Doyle's book, Making Technology Happen, and regularly update its detailed "family tree" of Ottawa technology companies.
Jeffrey Doyle plans to concentrate on developing Doyletech's market and economic research services, while Mr. McDougall will provide financial management and sales expertise.
Doyletech will be self-financing for the "foreseeable future," Jeffrey Doyle said, adding the partners have no immediate plans to raise outside capital.
