List volume is down from over 100 messages a day to a dozen or so the past couple days, and at the time I'm writing this, the last two messages are from me, and those are over 12 hours old. I guess the initial spike was from a ton of people finding out about a new list where the Author actually *answers* *questions* and hurried over to learn the answers to life, the universe, and how to make klava. After getting their answers, they're now busy catching up on all the stuff they were supposed to be doing last week. Which reminds me of something that's bugged me ever since I read _Orca_: Where was Kiera when Stony died? She stirs up trouble, chats with him, *hurries* to the blue cottage, and arrives almost exactly a *day* after he dies. --KG
