I participate in my share of conversations too and it's, well, quite a handful. Making that easier would be a Good Thing (TM). :-) Have an awesome day!

Agreed that it's a great addition though. I should really work on that one. Two thumbs up to Dawud's writing aswell.

Perhaps after that I'll have to hire Wendy to manage the comments section - she's definitely good at it.

There are some very helpful suggestions posted here. I'm going to have to use these as a check list. I especially like the "approachable voice" - you practice what you preach on that one.
