    Thank you Glynn for making What Matters matter more :) tee hee -- wonder how many matters I can insert in one little comment box. Does it matter? :)

    What does matter is how supportive you are of others in this space, how generous and open you are to sharing.

    Thanks! You.... rock (haha -- bet you thought I was going to use it one more time! :))
