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!
