Carol responds:
You're welcome. But I neither hate JKR nor am I angry with her, only
annoyed by what seems to me her possessiveness about her books. I have
heaped no vitriol on her by calling her books good rather than great
and believing that she has, perhaps, an exaggerated view of her own
genius (understandable, perhaps unavoidable, given the riches and
acclaim she's received). But it's a shame that she doesn't understand
the difference between an author's intention and what makes it to the
printed page, not to mention that the printed page and the work as a
whole are interpreted differently by each reader, no one of whom will
or can see the work exactly as the author does. And it was Gandalf who
found questionable (not sinister) intent in "good morning."

Carol, wondering if you have her confused with those people on the
list who have actually called JKR "evil" (I only thought it once as
the result of a post that I later realized was hogwash)
