Steve, that point about Erin's hair should never have made it into the article. It pulls attention away from the rest of what you're saying. (The comments so far are a great example of exactly what I'm talking about.)
My (unsolicited) advice is to put stuff like that as the first comment in the forum, or send it out to your list as an additional personal comment, instead.
Probably the only thing I will remember about this post is that Erin's hair used to be short! (But I'm with Erin...I like her longer hair!
