Awesome.  Mega kudos to all of you guys who worked on this.

A notable exception on this list to the contrary, I think most of us 
realize that this kind of response time when everyone has other 
full-time commitments is pretty outstanding.

P.S.: I still think hiring paid staff should be pretty high on our to-do 
list, and this kind of incident underscores the benefits.  To me, those 
benefits are definitely worth an even share of a reasonable full-time 
sysadmin's salary.
