Aside from my usual batch of stellar typos, among 
which "specififically" made me laugh the hardest, I did want to 
clarify one thing that is perhaps more confusing than whether I 
really meant "murderer" when I typoed "muderer".

So here's the important clarification:

This last bit, after the colon, is a quote from Philip Pullman, not a 
quote of Barb.  I probably should not have used the angled brackets 
(a.k.a. the little >s) so that this would be clearer and better 
distinctified from the way I had been quoting Barb.  Of course, after 
this point, all the quotes are from Barb again.
