Just a quick post from a public computer to let everyone know that I am not, in fact, dead in a ditch somewhere. 
I am, however, on a family vacation and without the services of my trusty laptop (Airport baggage handlers...

 ) I will try to check in as often as I can over the next week, but I would be very pleased if Angore could be carried along until next Sunday or so, when I shall once again be able to post.
 
Thanks much,
Garen
 
P.S. Great posts by all in the last week or so! Really a pleasure to read.
