Hi, Michelle and all:

because it's just a peck. Goodness, men and women who've only just 
met give each other a peck on the cheek ! 

Michelle (and Naama as well), I apologize for flying off the handle 
in my last post under this thread... that's the one thing that I have 
in common with Ron's character in real life.

I don't want to seem like an insufferable know-it-all... I'm here to 
learn.  The books fascinated me enough to want to know more about the 
author, the setting, etc.  One of the things I've enjoyed most about 
the list is experiencing the different POVs on a topic we all happen 
to love--HP.  And I know I treasure the insights we get from the 
Brits-in-residence... we're very fortunate to have you guys around to 
humor our questions about the cultural differences.  

And upon further thought, my gut feeling is to agree with you on the 
kiss thing.  My initial impression was that it was insignificant... 
but even if it *was* meaningless, because of our endless discussions  
it sure brings a smile to this H/H shipper's face.  ;)

Feeling more than a little bit silly now,

Ebony
