Damn you!!! I was going to offer a similar one axiom law after thinking
about it, and you beat me to it! But the very nature of CVStoBVS reeks of
an admission to the subjective nature of experience. And from you,
David?!? I'm both shocked and delighted.
Oh, by the way, I DON'T WANT YOUR MONEY!!!!! Its nice that everyone wants
to help me try and get it, but really, $500 is just not right (now if
anyone wants to send me a couple hundred in small unmarked bills...)
