Popping up stacks

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Stephen, I hate to say this, particularly since this list is very  
helpful and no doubt extremely talented and experienced in many  
areas, but sometimes I don't think most are as creative as they could  
be. I know it's a trite expression, but they need to think outside  
the box more often. Your suggestion is exactly what one of mine, made  
several days ago, would have led to. I didn't carry the ball any  
further than just suggesting an approach, but I was sure it would  
work and be easily accomplished. I got no response from that  
suggestion. Of course it had to do with Answer and Ask dialogs using  
images in the background; more or less the same thing.

So, have a pleasant Memorial Day weekend.
