Of course. I am trying to say here, generally speaking, that for my own part at least, I should not advise anyone to try and track down Wednesday. People should make their own destinies, not have them made by their parents' friends posting on forums.

(Using the real name was kinda silly, though.)

Albeit...

I was talking with my mother recently and she mentioned that an old Torah study partner of hers, whom I'll call X, had stopped believing in Judaism.

Me (delighted): X turned to the Light Side? That is awesome!

Her (sounding taken aback and grim): ...no, not really.

So we can safely say that if Wednesday in the ordinary course of her life ever turns to the Light Side, it will be slightly more awesome than usual, and she should totally post about it here if anyone still remembers this forum then.
