Thanks, Quest.  That's s really nice of you to say that I seem to know what I'm doing.  I haven't a clue, really, but it's nice to know that I at least look like I do.

Really though, you did not rain on my parade.  Knowledge is precious, no matter how it is acquired, and I always feel that my efforts are a little lame compared to masters of the craft.  It just inspires me to work harder.

I will model the greatest mousie ballgown ever seen .... I swear on the tombs of my ancestors.

Could be worse, could be raining.
