An Extremely Annoyed Clara would like to warn everyone that:

Someone has e-mailed me to tell me I´m totally correct/extremely 
mistaken regarding one of my many theories of XXX for the DH book. 
That is as vague as I can express it, as I´m not spoiling anyone´s 
fun! (This person is not a member of this group, AFAIK.) 
Please please be careful if you don´t want to be spoiled, as I didn´t.

Clara  who is now signing off to go and live in a cave somewhere till 
Friday night.
