I just gotta say:

               B R A V O ! ! !

Personally I thought that this would be quite a normal thing to do.  I
just started hanging around to see what it was all about.  I'm
certainly no artist but you guys should all be commended on your work.
It's fantastic.  I enjoy just browsing the post to see what people have
come up with and let me tell you it's quite interesting.

Once again all you artists out there are doing a great job!
