Thanks for the compliment, although it doesn't balance out the message I got earlier today:

If you've got any other questions or comments, don't hesitate to write!

In this recent book she took the kid and Letty and went to England for some training or something. Sandford had her put some clues together for Davenport's case so she wouldn't be completely useless.

The answer to your question is no. I just said I can relate to her

which contributed slightly more to the topic at hand than YOUR barbed, instigating, whinefest of a post.

Doesn't she suck? I liked the reporter and I like the NYC cop - kill off Weather and have one of them console him.
