Well put.

BTW Kerik, I didn't mean to offend or amuse anyone by referring to the
"Melvin group" that's just the way I think of gum printers, as divided
into schools by the way they approach gum printing. There's the Livick
school, and there's the Melvin school, and there's Terry King and the
gloy printers, and there's the Post-Factory folks, and then there's all
the rest of us oddballs that belong to schools of one.
