Anne Squires: 

I am sorry I didn't snip correctly.  I truly didn't not mean to insult
you.  I actually agree with every thing you wrote as well.  I strongly
agree  that people discuss the series in an adult fashion.  Tear it
apart even.  I find it enjoyable to find new meaning and
interpretation.  I was responding to Lisa's comments which I think (I
don't want to put words in her mouth) were mainly about what is going
on in the fanfic portion of the fandom where people are flaming JKR
and claiming that her work is a poorly done fanfic.

Sorry, Anne
