I love it! The first true post-HP era discussion group post. We shall
now fill the vacuum with analysis not by, but of Kneasy. And surely,
if not enough posts occur to support that analysis, Kneasy will be
"kind" enough to provide sufficient self analysis to keep us all going.

the utter pap of that extended epilogue she provides in the Today Show
interview.
