...Stormin' Norm? That "...pick up the pieces of broken hearts" bit, doesn't O'Ryan have something pretty much like that in his .sig?

Note that this is not accusing you of plagiarizing, Thane -- artists borrow from each other all the time. True artistry is knowing what to borrow and when; and Norm had hit on a very poignant and appropriate (for your purposes, as well as his own) phrase there. (Heck knows, BTW, maybe he adapted it from somewhere else too.)

Anyway, I concur with Mike: If it is yours (even if it isn't, come to think of it), damn good work.
