Thanks, Mr. Misery. I appreciate it.
But the important thing to remember is that it's really not about me.
It's about you, Miz (may I?), and all the other great posters who make Fairfax Underground into the liveliest, and most exciting place on the web.
Believe me, I appreciate your, and everybody's help from the bottom of my heart.
Sometimes I have to be a little stern, but I want you to know that I really love all you guys (and gals!), with the possible exception of eesh.
Thanks again.
I am Cary
