No, it is not normal.
Yes, I will be happy to take your TZ hostage for a month as an experiment to see if you want it back.
Just come over and play my pins more and give your pins a rest.
In all seriousness, we need to start a temporary trade with the local Madison crew. Give me another month or so with my pins and I would be happy to shuffle them out with some of your pins. I think it could be a great way to allow us each to scratch the itch, refine our tastes, and keep some hard earned $ in our pocket in the meantime...
