And Knox, I'm going to quote you on the walking in the sun line. That's really great.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the incredibly nice words, everyone. I agree with Petrea -- this is a truly collaborative effort and I think I have the best, smartest, most creative blog comments in all of cyberspace. (Take that, Huffington Post!)<BR/><BR/>Quite simply: you guys rock.
