Re: Looks like posting this on Flame didn't have the result you intended, TB.
Candy striper
EDIT: Perhaps some explanation would be helpful here. I wrote a long post on the version of this thread on CE that used the candy striper as a metaphor, and I included a picture of one to help further understanding.
When I moved the post to Flame, the text was lost, but the image remained intact. I have left it for your enlightenment and amusement.
I'm just to lazy to rewrite the text, or go looking for it in the bit bucket.
