by the way, isn't it crazy how much overhead is required with lcb widgets? there is so...much...stuff you have to put on top just to get to the heart of the thing. and i'm never going to like the way lc embeds the comments in the source of anything. or the way they spell "favourites", or pronounce "Aluminum". Do you see an extra "i" in there? No? It's invisible, that's why.
