O-kay...
Is there still any question as to my stage-fright when I'm thinking of 
submitting an entry?
I would think not, anymore.
Just keep that sheparding hook-staff thing handy on the sidelines, because 
it's going there no matter what.
By the way I'm going to order this years IRTC CDrom.
Don't know if it has "zips" of images/animations or what, but afraid I'll 
literally find myself mesmerized in the massive quantity I usually only see as 
a trickle on the web.
