Cheers again, ELM :)

I think I might have to go with Lem, but I'll review the others first.

We read a lot?

;)

Um, I dunno. I can pull rank again. ELM can pull rank. Someone who participates around here but didn't vote can decide it.

And um, I'm leaving soon, so someone decide something stat so everyone can get reading!
