Amy wrote, among a lot of other *great* stuff:

I try to avoid pats on the back that don't add to the discussion.  But that 
was a GOOD post, Amy.  So good, in fact, that I can go back to writing for 
awhile.  Made complete sense to me.

It's really hard to write a character whose motivations you don't quite 
understand.  So I'll be sure to send you all my Ron questions in the future. 
  Ever thought about becoming his therapist?  With you on his team, he 
couldn't help but be "The Best Man", to quote one of the popular Ron 
writers.  ;-)
