This is tangential but I thought I'd remark. Y'all know that I'm not shy about using the word cult or the term Kool-Aid, even tho I've gotten blow-back for doing so, cuz of the risk of turning people off and away.

While I was looking into Sarah Palin's new web TV channel called Rogue TV I saw an interview with former CNN president Jon Klein and former NBC entertainment chairman Jeff Gaspin, who are starting this new form of TV. They mentioned that they were looking for contributors like Palin who had Super Fans.

So maybe to make it more palatable to the LCers, that might visit us, we should use the term Super Fans, for Leeites. Since they are Kool-Aid drinkers they'll prolly take it as a compliment.

Now I need to work on a palatable word for the word cult. So far I'm stumped. Thanks to Mel Porter I saw "cult," and I can't unsee it.
