(I read all of them through last week, before I started commenting.) I <i>will</i> be coming back around to offer <a href="http://www.insearchofgiants.com/2010/01/commenting-on-silhouette.html" rel="nofollow">my keep/tweak comment</a>, but I didn't want anyone to snark. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />Aerin (#236)<br /><br />BTW, it's perfectly fine if you still want to snark, but this way you can choose a more appropriate subject, like the merits of Mafia Wars or whether Katie Holmes should demand a divorceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-82610141118267117332010-01-18T09:45:32.929-05:002010-01-18T09:45:32.929-05:00This is intense.
