Well, bite me. I take the time to look up an interesting link to go with my comment, and what does it get me?

500,001.

I feel like the 10,001st customer at K-Mart, watching the guy ahead of me being showered with confetti. I'll just be standing in the back of the room while you folks go on about your business, m'kay?

I hear ya, yhbc. If only I'd typed faster, I could've had the power and the glory and, of course, the endorsement contracts. Instead, a lousy 500,003.
