I hate to be picky, @myr, but I think you meant warble fly, not warblw.  

BTW, the app that handles the 'at' function wouldn't load, that's why your name isn't in blue and it didn't notify you that I mentioned your name.  

Back on topic, when I was in college there was a female gadfly that would always interject her way into conversations, chats, or activities, but since she was the Dean's niece no one in our major had the courage to tell her off.  :thumbdown:
