It's amazing, well worth the wait :)<BR/><BR/>And: I totally agree with you that we should protest against things that will hurt others as well as ourselves -- and I agree that it's important we all protest as many voices are more likely to be heard (heck, I marched against the war in Iraq.

They're so much more fun than little skinny ones. <BR/><BR/>And if you will enlighten a poor ignorant antipodean -- I thought the CPSIA thingy only affected things for kids -- though I suppose it does affect anyone who makes things with their hands in a kind of a holistic sense.
