Thank you everyone from providing the great conversations on these posts from the past month.

I’m leaning toward a small Amazon.com gift card because they’re easy to deliver digitally and rather useful for most people – but I’m open to suggestions. I’ll announce what I ultimately decide, appropriately, in the comments below this post a week from today.
