Just to continue the pointlessness of your email, I checked mapquest the other day to see just how far I wasn't going to travel to not see Stan Sakai while he attends Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle. I am only a little over 2200 miles, but it sure looked like a relatively straight shot across the country.<BR> <BR>
