Does ANYONE agree that W explained himself? Let's vote! Written by Cathy Allen (10/10/2009 4:15 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, She shall forgive me again, and on more reasonable grounds, penned by Robbin

Can we take a vote? I say NO! The last 4 to 5 paragraphs of chapter 44 he buried himself again, as far as I'm concerned.

Anyone else?
