Separate names with a comma.
Fair point Mr. Kinsler. I always imagine these things sounding like a giant gong, but I guess if it were annoying no one would have bought them....
Ha. Ya, ironically, I'll probably keep this thing silent. I don't want to hear it ding every 15 minutes. Certainly not in the middle of the...
