	Like what?  Information that Kate has ever performed such a 
ritual?  Lighten up--  "Lily" is a song by Kate that contains references
to things that are not immediately apparent.  Attempts to illuminate 
those references are perfectly appropriate here.  Please don't try and
play netcop.

	Then post something to that effect.  Nobody is preventing you from
posting any sort of analysis of "Lily" that you'd care to.  In turn, please
don't try to prevent other folks from talking about what in the song interests
*them*.
