Woops. Upon further examination, I see that this message came off very
poorly. You know, there was something in my head, but it didn't sound the
way this message sounds when I read it now. If I sounded mad or like I

definitely not mad. I like Bram very much. Hug + kiss to Bram.
Apologizes to the list.
