Egroups Search/Spoilers

[Margaret McNie]

Good morning everyone,

I did a search on the yahoo archives in egroups searching for 'lupin'. I
just wanted to see the general discussion even if the messages did not get
listed on our FAQ database. The two lists did not match up. I would expect
the search to find messages that weren't listed in the FAQ list;
unfortunately, I also found that the messages listed in the FAQ list did not
show up on the search. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Since all the yahoo messages have been checked, this may not be a problem
for those messages. However, I was planning to use the search to get the new
egroups messages. If the search cannot be trusted to find all references,
what do we do? Or did I do something incorrect? I did check 'Lupin' thinking
that the search might be case sensitive but it is not.

Another problem has surfaced that didn't occur to me before. I prefer not to
know anything about the future books; I actually stopped visiting the board
for several weeks before GoF's publication. It's ten months to publication
for the next book and already we're dealing with spoilers. Apparently JKR
said some things in an interview. I managed to avoid most of it but I can
hardly skip messages if I am going to continue supporting my FAQs. So I have
a problem and may have to bow out. I will definitely keep my commitment to
do Lupin and Dumbledore (excluding any discussion which may have occurred in
the recent messages) but I'm having doubts about continuing.

I am also committed to the chapter and character discussions for Lupin. and
Dumbledore if someone else does not volunteer. Looking forward to them
actually. For one thing, they come after my trip is completed, the hot work
project is completed (well, maybe . . . they've already warned us not to
expect our normal Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks), and my jury duty is
completed.

God has such a sense of humor. Just over a year ago, I was leading a quiet,
boring life. Then Harry arrived about the same time as the first horse (the
'val' of sarvalsha).
