This is definately something I'm gonna pass to Tony tomorrow to reply 
to. When it comes to Xander's place in B/W life (or ANY Scooby in any 
other Scooby's life) Tony is the person I defer to. I seriously doubt 
there is anybody who has thought about/wrote/studied/debated about 
this as him.

Kirayoshi, Dan, and TheBear all have their finger on the pulse of the 
Scooby Gang as well.
