In general, I think it's a good idea to have a cut-off point, but on some
topics I'm doing, like 'Snape' and 'Spells & Charms' it would be hard to
ignore all the recent posts.   

As for my progress - I'm aiming to get several FAQs done in the next few days.  

One thing I've just noticed is that the e-mailed eGroups messages don't have
the message numbers on them.  I've been collecting all the messages in my
e-mail folder for a while now, so I could search them offline, but I hadn't
noticed that before.  What I may do, therefore, is put the date of each
message as a reference.  Any thoughts on this?  Have I missed something?
