Busting people doesn't mean she has to pop up and say, "A-ha! I've nabbed you, you dastardly devil!" Busting people can mean you just hand information over to other people who are in a better position to do the nabbing. She did the hard work of giving you the slip, even if she had reservations. Otherwise, she could have sat on it and pretended it didn't exist.

This. She doesn't have to be the avenger leading the charge (in fact, I'd say that she *shouldn't* be), but she did help, and that means other kids in her school are going to be safe.

Y'all, this is verbatim from the email I just got:
"Graphic Designer (Pay Range %2444,000 to %2457,500)."
Are they paying in Bitcoin, or something?
What even does that pay range MEAN???

%24 is the encoded character for $, so it should be $44,000 to $57,500.

Shrift, I'm both grateful for your explanation and sad it isn't a weirder one.

It's probably more fun to pretend my explanation doesn't exist so we can come up with a currency that would be appealing to Graphic Designers.
