I'd like to second your remarks about Ebony's arguments.  As she 
knows, I am definitely a LOON, and I know that this can be annoying 
sometimes.  What staggered me was that Ebony's post contained a 
comment about feeling more and more reluctant to post to this list.  
As far as I'm concerned, she writes some of the most eloquent posts 
around, which probably have a great deal of gut feeling in them.  
This is good - it is intuitive analysis.  It makes me feel that we 
are all getting a bit too nitpicky.  Am I right, or have we 
overanalysed to the point that it is all we are left with?

Catherine, who doesn't want to sound too cynical, but fears that she 
does.  Roll on Book 5.
