Merry Christmas one and all! A good day to reflect and be grateful.
Merry Christmas MS, and Merry Christmas to all! I'm still lurking here. But I'm in a hellish work crunch right now, with several months to go, so I'm trying to keep my politics addiction under control while I deal with it. Great to see the new authors here...
