Hear, hear.

Gordon Thiessen is a very fine gentleman. I know that's a string of words that sound anachronistic, but IMHO it's an accurate description. I dealt with him on a few occasions when he was Sr. Deputy, and the contrast between his style and Crow's was striking. When you briefed Crow, you tried to do your best out of fear -- and regardless of how prepared you thought you were, he'd throw something at you from left field and never be satisfied with how you handled it. When you briefed Gordon, you felt like he wanted you to do well, and would encourage you along to improve. Both are very, very smart men, and IMO both served very well. Gordon's laid-back manner will likely mean that his very real contributions will remain unsung. I wish him well in his retirement.
