1. Pete O'Hanlon is an underpaid actor
2. Pete O'Hanlon has a real job.
3. Pete O'Hanlon is not gay (to the best of my knowledge).
4. Pete O'Hanlon is a role-model for wit, technical astuteness, and a willingness to selflessly share his talents.
5. Reading one technical article, or response to a question on CP, by Pete O'Hanlon is worth more than every grade-b triumph-of-testosterone movie C. Norris ever scowled through.
