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!
