Just as a matter of curiosity, did anyone ever put together a 
coherant list of the major speculations and predictions of this group 
on GOF before it came out, and which ones proved to be true?

I've been following this thread and keep getting a picture of an 
infinate number of monkeys with typewriters turning out Shakespeare!  
No offense meant, I just wondered if, with all of the active group 
members thinking and analyzing over and over, reacting and refining 
with each other, what the chances were of us getting a pretty acurate 
picture of what the next book(s) hold?

Sorry for the run on sentence, couldn't find a way to break it up.
