Pinch me, I'm still dreaming.....
This is GREAT!!!!!!!

I have been thinking of composing such an overview, but I shrank back from
the enormous job of rereading all the books and copying all the info on
all the characters.....
But this hero has had the courage to do it.

That's a nice idea. Won't it be against the copyright to use such a large
part and put it online?

Even that....!

Thanks, Jean-Michel, for this good news!
