Absent mindedly is the key phrase. It was after the murder. Also, MTH was lying. Badly.
* Pilotbob said that Ravenne was spray-painting a dog at the time, but she said she was trying to get the next contest ready for the members. Was he lying about what she was doing, or does the next contest involve a spray-painted dog? Since the next contest is now out (a drawing for an iPad), it seems as if Ravenne was lying. Why?
Eye witnesses are notoriously inaccurate. Also, the next contest was sort of sprung on us at the last minute...
* What were the significance of the printed words “Moby Dick” on the Nook?
Who murdered the chauffeur?
* Why did Patricia say that “Zelda never touches the Red Button,” when during the course of the story, Zelda pressed the Red Button twice, and was obviously quite familiar with its operation?
The rule was made for me. Moderators can touch the Red Button when they need to... 
* Why did Nate the Great say, “I understand that pshrynk took one on the head. Nasty business. But then, he didn't know that much about electronics.” What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?
It was meant to show Nate's monomania on electronic devices.
Just curious...
