Many thanks, Tom! While the polarity of the MOC wasn't an issue for me, it
was, as you said, quite an interesting social experiment to observe how
people would react to them. I mostly felt sorry for the people who couldn't
see the fun in them. They must lead dreary lives if they can't get a giggle
of such silly and whimsical things.

I KNOW. I've really been sitting on my hands these days. There've been a
couple things preventing me. Laziness for one. I've been trying to fix a
number of things. Many of the images for the more recent MOC's needed to be
reduced because they were too big (finished that but now I need to upload
them all again and MAN, is that boring and time-consuming!). I also need to
restructure my Futuron II page. Right now it's too long and has too many
pictures. It needs to have separate pages nested under it (flips through
manual looking for the way to do that). I've finished the Asteroid
Excavator and I need to photograph it and make a page for it. I've also
been thinking of revamping the main page again.
Mebbe I should just take a week off from work and . . .

Ya know, I've thought about that. Mebbe in version 1-A. Stay tuned!
