Remy/Gambit, I mean this with all admiration.  How do you know about ALL these things?  It seems
that every time someone asks a technical question you know the answer, and they are across such a
wide range of topics.  If you don't mind me asking, what do you do to pay the bills?  How did you
get such a wide range of knowledge?

Oh, and also another "thank you" for this response about ClearType and for about a thousand other
answers to others questions that I have found useful.  Really, I'm not trying to kiss your a**.
Sincerely, thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge and your no doubt very valuable time to
help us all.

Thanks again,
Michael
