Thanks for the nice words, **Zoe!** I really appreciate them, and not just because our screennames rhyme. 🙂 It was a remarkable day for a remarkable bunch of people, and I hope to be part of the next one.

I’m not responding to whatsisname up there, since this ain’t the Pit and I can’t say what springs to mind. Anyway, I’m truly looking forward to the debates that _really_ count. The campaign’s begun in earnest, woohoo!
