And, there I was agreeing with all your points up until here, Gwen!
<g>  I guess I'm just being obtuse, but I don't see why having the right
answers and using those answers to help solve problems is "showing
off."  Yes, she does mention "Hogwarts: A History" alot, but I don't
think she'd be displeased if Ron or Harry suddenly referenced that book
when they were thinking about doing something.  She'd be thrilled that
they'd read it, not upset that they'd upstaged her moment of glory.  IMO
anyway.

I liked all your other points Gwen!  I don't think I ever said welcome
-- I know you joined up relatively recently, and I always enjoy your
posts.

Penny
