The way in which they read them might change, but they'll still read them.Shaun Hutchinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01480241164653893038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-43619487373953984292011-09-06T05:23:52.597-06:002011-09-06T05:23:52.597-06:00That was a great metaphor, Eric!
