Like I mentioned in the other thread... (holy cow,
two threads <g>)...
Wow!
I *really* didn't expect such a positive response to a story in which nothing happened and nothing changed!
But thank you, everyone, who commented.
Hopefully I'll have time to come back and comment properly, but I'm in a bit of a rush at the moment, but... thank you. Really. Every single comment just blew me away.
