I read the strings ( as I see that you even allow ~men~ to do ), and REALLY, REALLY enjoyed some of the comments, like Holly's thoughts on not expecting (nor allowing ourselves to be concerned about) our friends and family to ~get~ Kaufman:
>>give up on trying to convince anybody of anything.
Instead, join in on Andy's "secret laugh!" -- the one that HE enjoyed the most!
And this one blew me away:
It is something that can be brought into existence in
many ways, usually out of dark nights of the soul -
though it can come from joy. But when it appears, and
it catches the light, few things are more beautiful.
It shines like crystal yet is much warmer. It emerges
as much from innocence as from experience, provided
that the person who produces it has a tender spirit.
Yet its very existence is frowned upon by many who say
it is only a sign of weakness. I'm really the only
member of my family who would rather feel no shame in
its existence, because I think it is good that it
exists. It may well be the water that nurtures seeds
of love, and it can serve as a testament to a
beautiful work of art, as well as its artist.
It is...a tear...

I am VERY serious. What a profound thought!
Hey, at this rate, we may even consider allowing you to vote someday.
All kidding aside, you all have assembled a great group of thinkers, writers, and Andy fans. Congrats!
