... Gosh.

I can't help but think that might be overstating the matter a bit, but I do sincerely appreciate the compliment, and I'm pleased to think that our work could mean so much. In all honesty, it's never been intended to have Particular Significance; we just... do what we think is right. I'm sorry, I'm a little overwhelmed (particularly as I'm coming to it very late in a long day).

Thank you, and everybody else in this thread too, for your support. Especially at a time like this (both in terms of world events and because, let's face it, it's been a pretty dry spell lately), it helps a lot.

--G.
