Thanks, Richelle!  It does make sense... in fact, after I posted the question, I wondered if it had something to do with the fact that they were the same type of immortal.

I notice you still won't answer my spoilery speculation!*    


*p.s.  Of course, I don't really want you to, because I want to find out in the story context... 

I know there's a way to mark all posts as read, when you've selected 'Show all unread posts since last visit" or when viewing 'All Unread Topics' ... is there a way to mark a particular part of the boards as read?  I noticed that when I opened "The Books", there's a tab 'Mark Read' - will that affect only "The Books"?  I'm asking because there are a few areas I don't go into, and I'd like to clear them out of the way before I page through all the unread posts.

Also, Is there a way to mark message read if they were posted before a specific date?

I hope that makes sense...

Thanks!

Edited to clarify and ask second question

*drumming fingers impatiently*   

I was just checking on the release date yesterday... who knew it was December alreadY??   

Did I see that you have some short stories about Georgina in a couple of different anthologies?

And I ain't saying a word about spoilers.

*pouts*

Well, I guess it's not too long till the next book.  I'll try to keep my impatience at a reasonable level.   

Totally excellent, dude.

What color is Harry's "blue" beetle?

Answer:  Powder blue, white, yellow, red, green, and primer grey

I found 3 quotes for this (Thanks, Priscellie for pointing me to FM!):

Fool Moon
The Beetle wasn't really blue, not anymore.  One of the doors had been replaced with a green duplicate, the other one with white, when something with claws had shredded the originals.  The hood had been slagged by fire, and my mechanic, Mike, had replaced it with the hood from a red vehicle.

Dead Beat
The car has had various doors and panels replaced with white, yellow, red, and green.  My mechanic, Mike, had managed to pound the hood more or less back into its original condition, which I’d bent our of shape while ramming a bad guy, but I hadn’t had the money to repaint, so now the car had primer grey added to its ensemble.

Proven Guilty
It’s a jumble of different colors, as my mechanic has replaced damaged portions of the body with parts from junked Bugs, but it started off as a shade of powder blue, and that had earned it the sobriquet of the Blue Beetle.

^{ETA quote from PG, to clarify that the "blue" is "powder blue," 'cause it's a fine piece of trivia} 

Tak, there are actually four Regional Commanders in the US, though we only know the names of two.  From Dead Beat:

Quote

She nodded again, more sharply. "Then I'm conscripting you into the Wardens as a regional commander."

I blinked.

"You'll be in charge of security and operations in this region, and coordinate with the other three American regional commanders."

Question - I was re-reading DB and came across this (p392 (?) hardback) from when Morgan gives Harry his first check.  Morgan says:

But you may be required to participate in missions from time to time, and I will expect you to work with the other regional commander in America.  He operates out of Los Angeles.

This seems to imply that they're down to Harry and one other (Carlos).  As I thought about this, it occurred to me that when Harry first became a Warden, Morgan was one of the 4.  Then when Morgan took over the role of leading the wardens (due to Luccio's injuries), he was no longer a regional commander?  I also thought that in the battles, another one got killed.  But I skimmed back through DB and searched PG, and I can't find anything to back up either of these recollections specifically.

Are there other references to the regional commanders?  I don't have White Night, so I can't look there.

- Confused, BL
