<grin> Ya know what? Before I discovered the lists, I never thought
about potential romantic relationships amongst the characters. I mean,
I saw the possibilities but never really bothered with it. Then I read
fanfic, where there are *wild* speculations, and read some posts about
shipping. Amazed I was...and a bit intrigued, I must admit. Have I been
tainted?

<grin> Let's hear it for the Muggle Named Joe! <cheers> New ship
category anyone? He/MNJ?

Okay, all fun aside, I quite agree. I probably won't care much what
happens ship-wise in the canon. I just find the whole debate fun
somehow. When it isn't brutal, that is.
