Well, Clarice, have the ducks stopped giving affirmation?

I disagree, but I'll throw it out there next week, see how people feel about it.

Thank you most kindly for that. I certainly feel like I've done a lot of growing up, and so much of it's come as a result of commenting here. Being Franko made me Frank.
