Andy:

Glad to list you. It is much easier on me if you send me a link to the post you would like included' but I do peruse the blogs. So unless you email me a link, there is no guarantee you will be included.

All emailed links are much appreciated.

Again, I'm surprised and pleased to find that you thought enough of my post to include it. Not only was it included this week, but you gave it a "best of" recognition! I'm humbled.

I really appreciate your hard work. Where do you find the time to do the extra reading?!

Thanks, Allan!
