> First of all, I want to thank Ian. He’s absolutely right. When I remove a character from the PV, it’s only because I don’t want to run into trouble with any future editors, publishers or agents. I honestly don’t ever believe Ian, Adam, Kirk, Jay or anyone else on the board would ever come to me and say I stole from them. I’d like to think my friends here would be glad IF I ever became successful enough to write professionally.

Depends how successful you get. Just kidding. \:\) Of course we'd never do that, but you have to cover your butt.

It sounds to me like you may be over-thinking the novel. Sometimes you just need to step back and away for a little bit and then come back to it. Have you tried maybe taking a month or two off from it to refresh yourself? If you read it over and over again constantly it's way harder to pick out what needs to be changed as you start to skim over parts.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have you around posting Caption the Pic rather than not at all.

That being said, I'm thinking of scheduling a pre-wedding chat before I get married in July (once I have a better idea of my schedule I'll be putting it up with about a week's notice, probably on a Saturday or Sunday), it'd be great if you're able to make it. I figure if a wedding can't get a big chat together, nothing will!
