AI Thread Summary
Sting expressed that moderating the forum was not his preference but acknowledged the positive experience it provided. He recommended Ivan for the moderator role, believing he would be more suited for it. Congratulations were extended to Ivan for becoming a mentor, with some confusion arising over the similarity between his name and another mentor, Hallsofivy. Ivan clarified that he recently took on the mentoring role and confirmed that he is not the same person as Hallsofivy, who began mentoring shortly before him.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup.
