poss. of a new P book

[Meg Larson]

A-and you don't have to wait for someone else to move the read along.  Got 
any insights, questions, etc that may be helpful in alleviating your joyless 
experience, thus far?  Since we have decided to go without a schedule and 
hosts, it's pretty much open to all of us to move this read along.
Not trying to be nasty, but instead of all y'all bitchin' that this ain't 
going nowhere, why don't you throw in and help the discussion move???
