I know this one! It's the former right? Also, on topic: Seeing all this drama and hearing about the last DW, I just wonder about how the first DW went down :0

You'll also find that if you check, I have thanked Fred on GA for my participation in 2 Comicon Challenges. But more importantly, have thanked the other…
