It may amuse you to remember that over 6 whole years ago you said you hoped to see me hit the 100 DYK boundary some time in the future - so you might like to know that it's finally happened. Maybe it would have been quicker if I didn't keep writing such loooong articles. Here's hoping that the next hundred will be nice, quick drive-by's! Thank you for your previous support!
