       Grats on the thread. ;)

    In all seriousness, this is a great thread. Thanks for making it, and please keep it updated! I'm taking the liberty of removing some of the posts in here that amount to, basically, "/bump", for ease of reading the post. In the future, please request a sticky by emailing wowreportedpost@blizzard.com, not by bumping the thread "asking" for a sticky. Thanks!

    Even yet, I have so many miles to go.
