What is their reward?

A BYE, usable between now and the Top 30. (Note; the regular byes expire at the Top 50) You can keep these byes, or give them to someone else.

That's why it's always good to at least look in on the work rooms to follow the conversations, even if you aren't making comments there!

This was, as usual, so much fun to read! I love the idea of editing percolated coffee. You write this kind of word flow/semi-stream-of-consciousness well.

Why thank you! There is nothing like fresh coffee, and edited... well, no, not so much. :-)

This is so sharp that it does (excuse the cliché) cut. Your words are always direct in their deflection.
