Guh -- your Buffy/Luke observation is great. And the delete pick-up. I have no words. I have no idea why you bother to read my words -- you are tremendously insightful! I'm kind of hoping bro decides he's too busy. btw -- send me your e-mail address so I can hook you up to the google docs.

I'll have to see if I can spin Jesse's disappearance from the text in any kind of interesting way -- but it's almost for sure just a dangling thread.
