Annemehr:
Yeah, I feel a little guilty for how I worded that. I didn't think
she'd outright lie, either, exactly, but was toying with the idea that
she was playing. If Jo *had been* just toying with us, I imagined she
would update the next day with the real facts. After all, she's
tricky, but she's kind to the fans.

But, yeah, she's pretty clear in her news update that she wouldn't do
even that. <slams fingers in oven door>

Re the fan persistence question:
I was one who had trouble getting the site to work after the update,
and in frustration I spent time on TLC looking for info. I saw the
pattern for pressing the bricks there, and didn't figure any of it out
for myself. It's okay, though, because in the same place I saw the
advice to dump my cache to get the site to work, so it was time well
spent.
