[penguicon-general] Nifties

[Jer Lance]

Ahh, fair point, I worded my response poorly.  A better form would have
been:

"Currently, the Talent Wrangler is responsible for Nifty wrangling, to
whatever minor degree it is necessary.  The position is, to the best of my
knowledge, still vacant."

Immediately followed by:

"Would you like to wrangle the nifties?"  :P

Thanks for catching that Matt.
