Welcome, Jem!  My conversion to KaTedom was not that long ago and I think
many of us *do* know what you've been through.  For me, it was more like not
being able to breath quite properly after hearing  _The Dreaming_.

And all this from _Lionheart_!  She truly is!
(No flames, I love _Lionheart_, but the other albums can give me a much
stronger "KaTe reaction."  The goosebumps are rarer with this one.)

Ooooh, just wait 'til you hear the rest!!!!

My conversion was also at least partly prompted by reading Love-Hounds (and
mostly prompted by a particular Love Hound's review of _The Sensual World_
in the local college paper, thanks Jon!)  So let me add my "thanks" to
Jem's.  It's nice to be reminded.

It's aways nice to hear another conversion story!
