As I am one of those people who have profited tremendously from Acer's experience and his forum replies I think this award is really justified. Acer's posts often show techniques that are of practical use and also help to gain a better general understanding of how Maple works and how to make efficient use of this great tool.
So, thank you Acer and keep it up! :-)

Ace,

Thanks for being generous with your time, and for all the invaluable guidance.

very respectfully,
