My wife would never read these forums. She loves all my projects, but thinks that I'm crazy to check and post to these forums regularly. I just compare it to all the TV shows she watches. She knows all these fake names of characters and follows their stories and so on. I consider all of you people to be characters in a soap opera that I watch, except that I actually get to influence what happens. It's kind of like a choose your own adventure.
There are heros, like me, villains of questionable sanity, like DD, and happless characters like Fredster who just stumble around bumping into things and speaking incoherently, who provide endless comic relief.
