Good point, Amanda.  In reading back my original messages, I saw that I
initially put him under gluttony, but saw that it might be interpreted
as lust, too, in the larger, overarching sense (a bottomless desire for
adulation, rather than a bottomless appetite for adulation--see original
posts to see the distinction).  Frankly, a lot of these sins muddle
together in character motivations; categorization is not clearcut.
