I'm very glad to hear that! I'm always worried that I won't get across that Dave is actually human and not just a stack of awkward coolkid mannerisms and extended metaphor - and similarly, I'm worried I drop too much of the coolkid in my attempts to make up for that. XD If he comes across as coolkid AND real, then I feel that much better about it!
