another moment of desperation...

I've been forced to use this addy again, since my home addy refuses to
post properly. One more time with feeling:

Just to reiterate: you have to take JKR's word as an author, even if she is as
sneaky as Christie. If she says the Marauders were in Gryffindor, we have to
accept that, otherwise nothing is inaccurate theory and we keep everything.
You may prefer canon as the last resort; like Talisman, I believe some
questions will never be answered by canon nor JKR, but I can always be wrong.

For instance TBAY. The cookies are frankly suspicious and the tea is
definitely laced with something. There's too much giggling. And I could rule
out half the SHIPs, but again, until a definite pronouncement is made (however
obvious it is to right-thinking people), we must let those poor deluded H/H
shippers have their day.

I may as well be called The Permanently Disconnected, I've had to change my
email for Yahoo lists _again_ because of smtp problems. My isp holds the world
land speed record for being slower than tortoises and hasn't even taken my
money for almost a month now. Getting answers out of them seems a hopeless
task.
