You're awesome.

ps. I'm not gonna lie, I just copied and pasted these questions from a google search just to see if you had the willpower to answer all of them. Hence so many being irrelevant. I am impressed by your response and I hope you don't hate me because of it (although you probably do.)

My previous statement stands.
