@syz, you’re our first official guest! Sweet!
@thorninmud, I use the Soville units as my basis for judging anything. Yes, I habanero view of the world ;-)
@KNOWITALL, you are the dahling, dahling. And don’t make me say it again!
@Coloma, the queen of the parties is in the house! I truly have goose bumps. Thank you!
@augustlan, I’ve got the hots for you, too! And that’s not the fear of the whip that’s talking.

@all, thank you again. I raise my glass to you all, for it is the magic of the collective across the (gulp) more than three years that I’ve swum among you that keeps me coming back. I would never have imagined myself hanging around for so long, but I have a fondness for you that is . . . well . . . warm. I shall continue to swing by on occasion and participate when it feels right. Many thanks, and cheers!
