Kudos to Dr Davidson for her dogged adherence in finding solutions to a sticky problem. Her sticktoitiveness is a an example we should cling to and not part from. She's a goo guru. My eyes were glued to the page as I read. There was no mucilaginous obfuscation to gum up her message. I have become an adherent to her methods! Don't be stuck in your old ways - check this out!
