Geoff:
I hope you won't suffer damnation because that would be a severe 
penalty for the suggestion you make. :-)

I feel that you are not taking on board the fact that, for every one on 
this group, we make subjective judgments about what is written in the 
books or said about them by their creator and also about messages 
posted by contributors to this group. 

I have read many differing views on the series since 21/07/07 and they 
can often only be based on subjective conclusions. I cannot claim to be 
the final authority because I was reasonably happy with DH; I cannot 
accuse those fellow members who didn't like the book of being guilty of 
"babbling" or having "screwy ideas" or of being vitriolic. If that is their 
interpretation, then they have the right to hold those opinions and we 
need to be careful to ensure that we do not ourselves become 
confrontational and inflammatory in voicing our disagreements with 
our co-contributors.

If we all said the same things and never interpreted events in differing 
ways, the world would be a decidedly boring place, wouldn't it?

At least, that's my subjective impression....
