Well I hate to gloat, but as someone who has actually met Helen I can only say she was nothing like the person described.
She spent time chatting to this mad woman who regaled her with stories about a certain web site and signed personal autographs, although she did say she was going to keep my fancy pen cos she liked the fact that it lit up when you wrote.
The only thing that would have improved it is if IPS had been there, but I can dream
