 This is the "gleam of triumph" quote that you're talking about, and 
yes, we've all noticed it.  Do a search in the archives for "gleam of 
triumph" if you're curious.  Or, we could all just start another 
discussion on it.  I'm game if anyone else is.  We've got a couple 
years to kill until the next book.
