Kind of reminds me of what you do here, Will, for the vast number of us who don't have the time to follow all the minutiae.

I know that if I keep an eye out for WilliamPitt threads I can keep on top of the important stuff, even if we don't always agree on every point exactly.

Very, very classy of you to remember West, very classy to do it with this particular image.

Well done.
