For the time being, I think I prefer to keep it freestyle, unless things 
become too quiet and we need to try to generate some posts by such 
"artificial" means. I'm short on time anyway, and as we have got probably 2 
years to wait until the next book comes out, I don't see why there's any 
need to rush to get every single aspect of the new book analysed.

One thing I'm beginning to get paranoid about is that I'm not following the 
main list for the time being (sorry, I simply can't keep up with that 
volume and there are few posters or topics I could trash without peeping, 
and then reading the whole message). Most of you are probably both here and 
there and thus I'm doubtless missing out on loads of interesting stuff! I 
see that a few people have done the kindness of posting on both lists and I 
really appreciate that.

Oh, and I've proposed a couple of names in the database and hope I'm not 
stepping on anyone's toes with either of them... ;-)
