Quote - It's just a pity, when there is some interesting debate / discussion, in amongst the maybe lesser quality stuff (subjective as to what that might constitute of course) that the whole thread is lost...

I think we should just assume she had no idea what the consequences might be.  Benefit of the doubt and all that......
