Doh!  I'm warning you in advance of a goof I made.  First, you and your work are simply incredible and I have been a long time fan.  Thanks!  So I was messing around with the send friend request thingy and it sent it without giving me the chance to add any message.  So here we go:  Hi!  I think you're just awesome and would be honored to be added to your friends list.  Thanks for you time, Duncan
