I am not Stanton, whose first name must have begun with an E but is escaping me now. I also didn’t watch enough DS9 and don’t live in Ohio, so take 2 or 3 DQs depending on how much credit I can get for the Stanton thing. 🙂 Also, I feel it’s worth mentioning that I stared at the giant E for several seconds this morning, trying to remember who the hell I picked last night. I’ve got it now, though. ---
