Thanks, Bill; you're making me blush.

But I think my remarks came across sort of pathetic, which is not at all 
what I intended.  When the Opus points started flying around like leaves
in 
an autumn storm, well, I admit I felt a bit miffed at first that I wasn't 
getting any.  Shortly after, I realized that I wasn't posting very much at

the time, which was largely why I wasn't the recipient of bunches of
points.

Then it seemed like everyone but me had huge reservoirs of Opus points, at

which point *not* having any seemed a mark of distinction.  I've always 
liked to think of myself as a Thoreau pumpkin sort of person.
