Cheers for the praise!

Heh - I haven't even heard of Devil's Crown, it took me a long time
just to stop the fish looking like spanners (I'm not kidding)!

Yeah, I haven't given credit to the people who make really good jsw

Oh, and a little clue for "It's the quiet 1s u have 2 watch" : in
order to negotiate the screen, look at the title.

Stay cool, stay drinkin'
