Edit: And this thread (and the others) has really touched me. All those miserable words we say to each other in other threads, and I thought I didn't like any of you guys - but now you all have successfully made me cry tonight with all this. I think that speaks volumes. Thanks guys, it's really nice to see this side of you all, and to know that we still care about one another. I'll definitely be thinking about all this when I return to work tomorrow.
