€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Scott€
harry_potter00 says, Higypsycaine says, Hi Scott!
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I put a msg on HPfG giving you message #s on hpa for info on prefects€
harry_potter00 says, Thanks I was looking for it...€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, tell ifyou don't have Web access, I could forward the forward the msgs as e-mailgypsycaine says, i too was looking, thanks.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee. I went on e-group to try to look at chat scripts by clicking on themgypsycaine says, perhaps a different font is in order.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and there were like 200 lines of html before the first word of chatgypsycaine says, what?
gypsycaine blinks....
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and like 60 letters of html before each letter€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Like opening an html document in notepadl€
harry_potter00 says, I've not looked for the chat transcripts yetgypsycaine says, did you just download them?
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't want to have to download them in order to read them with word, I want to be able to read them with Netscape Browsergypsycaine says, I didn't save them as webpages, just text.
gypsycaine says, i bet that if I go back, and save them as webpages, that'll work.
gypsycaine says, I'll also post them in the main message area.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I suspect that saaving them as Rich Text saves all the html as looking like text strings€
harry_potter00 says, I've gotta go, be back later...€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Main message area? Which e-group, the chat script one you created?gypsycaine says, ok.

catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, was it in last week's chat that you were telling some complicated explanation of Ian's name, about his father being married and the wife choosing the name>???gypsycaine says, yes, it was.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I didn't understand the narravtive at allgypsycaine says, it's ok.
gypsycaine says, those of us are a bit confused by it too who lived it.
gypsycaine says, the other URL. Interested, but X-rated.
gypsycaine says, http://www.egroups.com/group/Sexual_Keys_to_the_Tarot
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I used to be in APA-TAROT (an APA is an old fashioned mimeographed version of e-group) but got burned out on itgypsycaine says, they're quiet ones.
gypsycaine says, mainly I post a chapter, and no one responds.
gypsycaine says, so i post another chapter.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Do they read them?€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is there a way to see if posted files get hits?gypsycaine says, I know some of the people do.
gypsycaine says, Smiles.
gypsycaine says, i don't know. I am still new to egroups.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I posted my first fanfic since junior hi and no one e-mailed me that it was good or bad or too American or insulting to the characters to think that they would behave like thatgypsycaine says, i am avoiding fanfics until I finish ASA~
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, So I whined 'no one read my fic' and Neil replied that he had read it but didn't have time to commentgypsycaine says, and the few other ones I copy/pasted.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, If I had such a thing as time, I might join the PoU group and see whether other people's comments on the story as the same as minegypsycaine says, that's interesting. When I clicked on the text-file in hp4gucg, it opened as a webpage.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, or I might read the latest two, three issues of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN that are lying on my desktriner2001

catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Trinagypsycaine says, i picked up Neverwhere.
gypsycaine says, hi!
triner2001
says, Hello all€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, I will try to view that file in chatgroup, I had tried in HPfG's files sectiongypsycaine says, I'll play with it, too.
triner2001
says, It's sort of empty here today. Everyone must be watching the Olympicsgypsycaine says, I know a few folks said they wouldn't be able to make it.
triner2001
says, I probably won't stay long, I have stuff to do for school tomorrowgypsycaine says, i will keep a copy, trina...
triner2001

gypsycaine says, and he's three.
gypsycaine grins.

gypsycaine says, Just don't dl any mail from Chatscripts, they're gonna be huge.
triner2001

gypsycaine says, like what folks with Juno-mail.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The file on Chatgroup looks like a bunch of html or something, too. Are you viewing it with IE instead of Netscape?triner2001
says, lthanks, sometimes abbreviations confuzzle megypsycaine says, yes, ie 5.5
gypsycaine says, i'm going to cut and paste the whole thing to CS.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I just figured out that the name Gryffindor is a merger of GRUFFYDD (Griffith) and GLYNDWR (glendower). Both are Welsh names.€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, It makes a lot more sense for him to Welsh than Norman (Gryphon d'Or, golden griffin) since Hogwarts was founded over 1000 years ago€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, that is, no later than 990 CE (AD)€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and the Norman Conquest wasn't until 1066triner2001
says, Where does everyone get the time to do all this research?triner2001
grinsgypsycaine says, i don't have time for anything anymore.
€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, --- a recent retrospective on the Battle of Britain said Churchill's speech encouaged the people by recalling a thousand yaers of English historytriner2001
says, Me neither, just keeping up with the daily messages is a job in itself€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and I commented that that would NOT be encouraging, going back 1000 goes back to a time when England was repeatedly nvaded and conquered€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, but they played the sound bite from the speech and he really only went back 500 years, to Spanish Armadapeeves23

catlady_de_los_angeles says, good magazines, like BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY REVIEWtriner2001
says, Nothing that intellectual comes to my house, catlady€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think that the surnames of the Hogwarts founders weren't family names, as family names hadn't been invented yet€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (for example, Wendilyn the Weird rather than Wendilyn Weisenheimer as the witch whom Harry's history textbook said had been burned 47 times)€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think the surnames were nicknames that their associates had given themgypsycaine says, Rita, you might be interested in the Walker group. There's alot of English/European history in these chapters, all pagan related.

p_dumbledore says, Yes, for years when younger€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Was it in the canon or a fanfic that a teacher explaining the CoS said that Slytherin had quarrelled with the other three FOunders because they wanted to admit Muggle-born studnets+
p_dumbledore says, be back in a few.. sorry to logon and run.. trying to fix Dianns computergypsycaine says, it was the ghost teacher in CoS

gypsycaine says, lovely sinus weather. Either your nose is running, or you have a splitting headache.
gypsycaine says, I got lucky.

catlady_de_los_angeles says, Altho' the horrible traffic jam that happens whenever it rains wouldn't be a good combination with tomorrow being the first working day of our transit strike€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Tim will have to drive me to workgypsycaine says, transit strike?

catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lockhart's autobiography)dee_97527
says, ME did fix the orginal problem I was having with my computer though, now if we can get this other fixed+
p_dumbledore says, So do we have all the surnames ?€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, First, I think they are not family names because family names weren't invented yet€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, They are epithets or nicknames assigned by their associates€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Salazar was named Slytherin by people who had done business with him (they may have been the lucky ones: they survived)€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hufflepuff was named by her childhood 'friends' because she huffed and puffed after doing all her family's heavy housework before her mother even woke up (Hard work is a Hufflepuff trait)€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't know how Ravenclaw got that name -- Dee suggested she nmight have been a raven Animagus€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and pestered Poe -- pearching on a bust of Pallas in a library would suit her scholarliness+
p_dumbledore says, ha ha!! Right !!€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I just figured out this week that the name Gryffindor is a merger of GRUFFYDD(Griffith) and GLYNDWR (glendower). Both are Welsh names.€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and it makes a lot more sense for him to be Welsh+
p_dumbledore says, speaking of error messages, I just got one that said *** General Chat Error ???€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, than Norman (Gryphon d'Or, golden griffin)€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, since Hogwarts was found 'over a thousand years ago' that is, no later than 990, and the Norman Conquest wasn't until 1066€
catlady_de_los_angeles says, But my friend Lee thinks Gryffindor is pronounced Gryffinder (like Jim Dale does) and means 'griffin finder'catlady_de_los_angeles
