I'm pretty sure I remember a quote which asked her if she read the 
prediction that were going on on like and she answers that she only 
did ONE time (after the first or second book)and that she sisn't 
spead time with it.  So I sincerely doubt she's bothering spending 
time reading this web site, laughing at us or trying to make a 
point.  She's more likey making a point about people who claim t read 
palms or crystal balls that they probably aren't the "True seers".  
Maybe the true seer's are people like Harry who do not advertise and 
sell their gifts.

 I'd have to look up the exact quote to find where she said the thing 
about on line  I'm at work so I can't now.  Another direct quote was 
that she was stunned wth how closely people had read books and picked 
up clues by the insightful questions they asked at interviews and how 
she could answer without giving away the plot of future books.  So I 
believe that more likely some of out predictions are on and 
uncanningly right but if she was here, she'd never admit it or even 
try to lead us astray with how well known she is for red-herrings.  
Hey back in time book 7 theory and MAGIC DISHWASHER people- sure 
you're not JKR ingcognito?  LOL  ;o)
