9. Well, THANKS FOLKS!!!!!!!!!!

What can I say, I'm really lost for words... I just didn't expect this. Thanks again, all of you!

Mogster has encouraged me to make a photographic presentation of myself, and I hope to get it up this weekend.

So, for the February Competition:
As I'm quite new here, I'll try not to make a mess of this... The timeline of the competition will be roughly the same as for January, but I'll try to make the start a bit quicker...
If anyone has suggestions for a theme for this month, I've put up this thread:
<http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... >

Thanks againg, and good luck to everyone this month! :crazy:
