Okay. Did some back-reading.
(a) Cybele has a blog?
(b) That about the teacher isn't cool. I've been really lucky to have people who are cautious and understanding around me since I was very young -- and that's on the rise, as is awareness. People need to understand how DANGEROUS this is.
(c) Herbert is a cute name, nia! The computer will not be named Ned. As much as I like Ned.
wrq, as of yet, all I will say is what I said on the groupie thread, in a less direct manner: if you didn't want someone (ie, nia) to judge YOU and who you are as a fan, who are you to tell her she doesn't understand? No, she doesn't stand outside a stage door once a week, but that makes her no less of a fan, admirer, whatever term you might like to you. Come on.
A work of art is an invitation to love.
