**WeRSauron** can definitely use the link and text “I sacrificed my job for Cecil.” for a sig. **Esprix** of course has one also. So, guys whatta ya think? Got any suggestions or would it amount to sacrilege and diminish the **Master’s** appearance and words of wisdom as an act of blatant self promotion on my part. OR Would it in fact be serving **HIM** by spreading the word to the ignorant masses. 😉 ---
