Hi all,
I mentioned earlier that Richard didn't think Dan could pull off 
a "CAPSLOCK Harry" and then I went hunting for what I remembered him 
writing and OOOPS! He had the same reason as me! 
Read below:

Richard wrote in message# 11748
"The main reason I'd like a limit on Capslock!Harry is similar: I 
simply don't think Dan can pull off Harry being seriously unlikeable 
without undermining the viewers' sympathy. Much as readers are 
encouraged to dislike Harry's excesses during the book, we understand 
part of what he's going through and empathise with his predicament. If 
his energy and rage is less petulant, he can still be a believable 
teenager without alienating the audience."

So, embarrassingly enough, Richard got out in front again!

Jen Das promising not to bring up or quote anyone no longer writing on 
this list for a long while!
