I had resigned myself to lurking but a true Gryffindor never leaves his or 
her mates hanging....

Kathy will never turn, she is way too strong.  (Use the Force, Kathy)  
Besides our uniforms are much nicer. :)

I gave Kathy permission to use this so we might be repeating 
ourselves......*The SS H/H has packed on far too many passengers and not 
nearly enough lifeboats.* You are all royally screwed.  <VBG> :)  I also see 
you all stranded on a deserted isle, episode after episode looking to be 
rescued.  Each week you are visited by a "Special R/H Guest" who somehow 
manages to leave while you all remain there with your bizarre theories and 
coconut telephones....
