Thanks Rob smile

In case I didn't tell you lately, I appreciate all the new facets of BYC. I don't participate in the non-chicken stuff, but it is often a good read and I always learn something (like how not to behave).

Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family have a great holiday!

ps: My guess for 22,222 on 4/26/09 is waay off.
