I must confess that though I many times think of new and valuable features, you've surprized me with some of the features you've integrated within the platform.
Movable Type is definitely alive and growing!
Thank you guys for making this possible and for keeping a developer like me so entertained.
Before closing I would invite anybody to evaluate movable type online for absolutely no charge at: http://www.movabletypedemo.org/
