Hi --

I just combed through the latest round of "shipper" posts to update the
"Romance Pairings FAQ."  I started with the message on 12/19 from Jim
Flanagan about what that "kiss" meant -- this I think started the latest
round of debates.  I worked up through last night.

For those that might be curious:

H/H posts -- 48
R/H posts -- 44

Posts that were addressing the shipper debate but either an alternate
ship, no shippers or not taking a side: 28

The R/H posts above also don't count the ones where R/H people were
merely exchanging a fanfic recommendation or promoting a new R/H site
upcoming in January.

I would say it's all pretty darn even.
