Thanks for that great entry. I really enjoyed it. :0)
It doesn't matter where in the post you refer. I kinda agree with you that it is pretty distracting when you do it in the beginning of the post.
Well, the bad news is that they found the cause of my back problems, and there's nothing that can be done about it. So after this surgery, it's just a matter of time before I will need the next one, and the next one after that. With a bit of bad luck, I will eventually end up having all my vertebrae fixated. Let's hope it doesn't come to that :0/
