You inspire so many of us here so if I can inspire you at all, I'm grateful.

Also your comment means a lot to me because I know you've been watching my work progress, and you're confirming what I hoped was true: that this is a step forward for me. I can't always tell right away because I'm usually enthusiastic while I'm still on a creative high, then within a few days I start seeing what I still need to learn.
