Okay, Kathy, I was again out of line. You are right, I can't tell Catherine what or what not to write.

But the next time I think anyone is killing Lois just to explore Clark's feelings, I will still point out that I see the story just that way. Please note, however, that I have repeatedly said that I think there are definitely ways and reasons to kill Lois which I will not find gratuitous or exploiting. That said, I will always prefer it if she remains alive, but obviously I realize that writing a story where Lois dies can never be automatically wrong in itself.
