Hee, I'd have loved to be part of that party!

But mostly I wanted to tell you that I really admire how you're handling the whole plagiarism situation... I didn't comment before, since the whole kerfuffle went right past my head, me being no part of the community - and I felt that there were enough feelings hurt and that a relative stranger didn't need to add her voice to the chorus of damnation and confusion and... anyway, I think you are doing an excellent job, especially with the keeping a levelled head and an open mind towards the offender. Kudos!
