Well, Ethan ... I feel like we've aged a lot in the past week, you and I. Or maybe more accurately ... that we've grown and matured. I am different than I was just a short while ago ... for reasons you well know. And in no small way, @shadowspub and her example, her contributions and her continuing work have been the catalyst for change whose final ripples I can't begin to imagine.

I am different for having known both of you. And the change is impressive. Especially from my side of the screen. Here's to another great year for us all. Happy New Year to everyone reading this comment. May the next segment of your journey take you to amazing places.
