Re: Alanis

I almost never respond to anything on this list.  I am way guilty in that I
press down on my control key, highlight OTR messages and press delete.  You
all can be verbose at times.  Two, I've never been a big Alanis follower, so
it's odd that this is the subject that's coaxing me to speak out.  Anyhow, I
full on agree with those who appreciate _Thank_You_.  It's a wonderfully
adult expression of humility and grace I think.  It's also fine to tap feet
to.
