Erm, really?

With respect, Jinx, I think that's taking political stereotyping, not to
mention statistical extrapolation, a little too far.  I'm also a Snape fan
and far from being considered conservative politically. Some would say that
I *am* embittered and cynical, so you may have a point there, but let's not
get into that.  

Perhaps we should ask the Floridians (who, I must confess, I'd always
assumed to be the aliens with big hair and nostrils from Star Trek: Voyager)
to vote on whether or not they like Severus Snape. That should sort the
whole thing out once and for all.

Neil is finding his delete button increasingly attractive.
