From the look of things, a lot of others have too. Thanks TH. <br />Speaking of lawsuits, thank you CSA. And while I'm being grateful, I appreciate Stephanie, Nick, and the plaintiffs for following through on the lawsuit against the repulsive Proposition 1 that gave us 3 instead of 6 council members. Nick presented arguments at the Appeals Court in Seattle in late February.
