This was get-unjustly-attacked-by-an-immovable-object week which has resulted in a severely sprained ankle that I am supposed to stay off of, as well as a sprained wrist that I am not supposed to use. I am typing one-handed which is laborious and frustrating.

With much regret, between this and the holidays, I have concluded that I will have to close queries for a short while. So, as of today, I am closing queries until January 15th. I will do my best to work on queries currently in the queue so please do not feel you need to re-submit at this time. However, I anticipate being a bit behind the four week response time listed on our official website. Your patience is much appreciated.
