    p.s. I don't know if you care, but I got this error code when I tried to reply to you first: Error running style: Died in S2::run_code running ReplyPage::print(): Can't call method "quote" on an undefined value at /home/lj/cgi-bin/ljlib.pl line 5847, line 873.

    I don't know what that means, but maybe you do.
