That was fun! And a lesson in how to begin the destruction of a website. But, with your help, we survived.

Thanks to all of you who kept a good eye out for posts, especially Cartouche and O'Really. They were both incredibly helpful. (I know, I know!) Thanks to Catherine Forsythe for zapping spam during her vacation!

You really are a wonderful bunch of very talented people. Please keep in touch. If you have Twitter, I am @mlhumph3. All my other contact info is at mhumphrey.com.

What a joy!

- Mike

Say it ain't so. Don't you want to stick around and romp in the muck with us? Giving Tink the finger (the right kind) on the way out the door is going to endear you to us all, forevah. Emily just doesn't like cats. Allergies, I think. Great job.

Wondering if Michael knows that Cartouche & O'Really? are one and the same? Thanks for a job well done.

"Great moments in Tink" was one of the funniest OS headlines ever.
