bboy_mn:

I think maybe there is some confusion here. I wasn't disputing 
anything you said, in fact, in another post, I said nearly the 
identical thing.

I was just trying to expand what you said.
- Ron is likely because he has interest, experience, and a family 
history of good Quidditch players
- I expaned that by pointing out that current 6th and 7th years are 
probably excluded because they are getting ready to leave.
- another general point, if the start training a reserve team now, 
then 6th year, they will have a team ready to go. They won't be 
starting the season cold with an inexperienced team.
- The question about "who other than Ron" was to point out to people 
in general that we really don't have a lot of named characters in the 
story who are likely candidates for the team. Seamus has experience 
flying, but we don't know how much practical experience he has. The 
only other named characters I can think of outside Harry class is 
Colin Creevey. The point is Ron has established flying and Quidditch 
experience. 

I've been predicting that Ron would be the new Keeper for months, so 
I'm firmly behind the idea and I think there is sufficient text in the 
existing books to justify that position.

So, one again, I wasn't trying to dispute you but to agree and expand 
the logic behing the likelihood of Ron being Keeper.

Sometimes I'm posting pretty late at night and my brain isn't always 
working with a full head of steam, so what I'm trying to say can 
become a little garbled.

Sorry about the mix up.
