in response i  view blink as a priveledge or as a statis symbol.  to say
i am a blink makes me proud to say it.  not many people can say that.
after you have been on here awhile you'll see what i mean and understand
what i'm saying.  maybe others feel different about this but thats my
view.  oh, by the way welcome to blinklink.
