Steadman,

No that's a perfect spot! Where else is more likely to be intently 
stared at by thousands of people! The road to fame and fortune leads 
through some strange places.

I did hear back that I print I sold wound up in the buyer's bathroom. 
Not a great ego booster but we all know that huge portion of our work 
gets purchased for interior decorating purposes.

Are we degenerating to bathroom humor here? ;-)
