Kemper now:
Welcome zanooda!  I did a quick check on gmail's search engine (effing
awesome!) and only found a two threads that quote the scene in the
graveyard.  The first was in late July '05 which also asked about the quote,
though no one responded.  The second was in the middle of a thread on Sept.
6 '05

The subject of the thread is "either must die at the hand of the other,
Contradiction or Clue."  It was started by Valky.  She and Saraquel were in
discussion.

The message number is 139720.

Not sure if this will help, but there you are.

On a side note: besides shipping, there are no boring topics only boring
people.
