Geoff:
Dear me. Well, it is Monday morning (At least here in the UK). I 
think you need a calming and cheering mug of hot chocolate after 
which the world will look a little less dreary.

Seriously, I have had a feeling for some weeks that the group is 
treading water waiting for the arrival of the Queen of Sheba (sorry, 
the Half-Blood Prince!)on 16th July.

There is a tendency at any point in time for a particular thread to 
dominate the lists for a few days and that has been the case lately 
and we also seem to have been retracing our steps a lot. Some of them 
are threads which do not interest me personally and so I leave them 
(I never get involved in a Snape thread for example).

Of late, and I noticed quite a drop in the number of postings over 
the last weekend. A bit of burnout I think...

It's a bit like being in the waiting room at the railway station 
waiting for our service to arrive. Once we're on board our next 
journey into the unknown, I'm sure things will pick up and the 
theorisers and conspiracy theorists will have a whole new pack to 
shuffle.

Just hang in there for the next 89 days.
