    It's not worth all the speculation, I promise.

    I agree with everything you say except the bolded piece. Because there will be nothing funnier than when they all find out and refuse to believe what a stupid, piddling little thing this actually is.

    Well, then seeing as I'mgoing to be dissapointed, I might as well post my complaints in advance.

    I like the fact that the "revelation" will be underwhelming.

    Kinda reminds me of when people finally figure out Petals Around the Rose. The more you think about it, the more underwhelming the simple answer will be....

    I can see your point.

    But there were a lot of us that love books and think that kids should be showered in books and put a lot of personal energy into literacy and love Gabe because PA rocks who were left out.

    Ok, well I can say for certain that there is me.

    Well, if you really loved PA, you would have donated money back when ClubPA existed, which would have gotten you access to it's forums, which would have allowed you to directly participate. :wink:

    Either that or you can just donate to Child's Play. I'm pretty sure Gabe would appreciate your nice thought as well, we never meant to "exclude". It neede to be a suprise, and we also had it organized and sent out within a week or so, so a majority of the forum would have gone "oh man, you guys should have kept it going for looongeeer", creating a bigger tangle.


    Then again, you can always wait for Tycho to have a kid. :P

What you did was really awesome and Kara and I both appreciate it more than you know.
