Elkins, I thank you kindly for the above nomination. I should be 
honoured to receive membership of such a distinguished order. (Er,  
remind me, just what is the Order of the Flying Hedgehog. I seem to 
have missed the post explaining it.) Anyway, clearly paranoia rules, 
OK. I have become increasingly paranoid with every book about whom 
one can and can't trust and it is good to know I am not alone! And 
thank you Elkins for the masterly analysis of the very good basis we 
all have for this paranoia. Though I still look forward to Jo proving 
us all wrong and pulling off some amazingly unexpected coup by the 
end of bbok 7. Even with all the wonderfully creative and inventive 
people on this list and their ever varied speculations on character 
and plot developments, I am sure she has many tricks up her sleeve 
that none of us have even dreamed of. At least that is what the 
experience of reading the first four books has been for me and I have 
confidence that she will not disappoint us in the next three even if, 
at present rate of progress, we may be tottering towards dotage 
before book 7 is actually published. Just a gripe of frustration at 
the wait!
