I posed the 'posing questions' idea and then went off it.  On second
thoughts, I suggest we cut our suit according to our cloth. If the
McGonagall piece looks thin (there's arguably enough material to make a pair
of socks for Dumbledore), it might encourage some new thoughts.  The same
goes for any other thin topic.  

Penny, I'd suggest keeping your MM piece up your sleeve for later, as it
might trigger some discussion. If I plonk it in the FAQ on its own now, it
could just sit there unnoticed.
