While I do appreciate the offer on the additional ripping, I think this horse is well and truly dead. I am sorry that I couldn't bring more life to the story. Perhaps the next assignment will not prove so recalcitrant.
Congratulations, Dean, on taking over this level. While I wish Mad Lews all the best, I think you'll be good for the folks who arrive from Level Two still cocky about their work. A little of The Mean will be like a dose of salts.
I thank you for the kind words about my writing. As I can, I would be happy to offer another set of eyes.
