Alice:
I'm still in love with our dear Mark (in a motherly way...:) ), but I
am beginning to see the utter hilarity of the situation JKR finds
herself in: I mean, it's as if we were TERRORISING her... Just think,
if you make a mistake at work, who notices? If it's a bad day, your
boss might. But JKR makes a mistake (well, a sort-of mistake... let's
say an event of unintended misleading), and there are SWARMS of us out
there with our fangs out! Talk about stress. What's the press compared
to HPFGU? :)))
Yes, that FAQ answer is really funny. Not quite sure whether it's
actually WORTH IT, but it's some consolation. :)
Love, Alice
