Paul replies: There is no reason to take everything so seriously. My 
post has nothing to do with the future of the series. I just 
mentioned an unusual superstition - custom of my country in order to 
lighten the heavy atmosphere that we the shippers created the last 
months. It is a hilarious supestition but then again any supestition 
in general is hilarious. Del, I consider you a friend of mine. And 
one who has a lot of passion, there is no doubt about that. I am not 
offended by your post but please try to cool down a bit. After all 
we are all friends here and we all want to have some fun. So lets 
all "smoke" the pipe of peace like the American Indians and resume 
the endless journey of HP series thorough analysis.

Cheers,
Paul
