@tsarstepan,
I'm a long time fan of Bob Mankoff, whom I don't know is still there, but bet he is, a sturdy wiry sort of man, and he used to praise his helper at length. Probably more than one helper over all, but I think it was mainly one fellow maniac (my words, meant as a paeon to both of them.) Correct me if I'm wrong on that word, Robbie!
