So, then, assume there was a Mystery FP about paranoia.  Say I want 
to give a link to Elkins Flying Hedgehog post.  I would cite that 
with "Go http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/36197"?

Ugh.  Isn't there an easier (i.e., shorter) way to do the links?  I 
can live with it if this is the only way to do it.

***************

In reviewing old posts, I am finding quite a number of awesome 
threads that don't fit into the Mysteries FP or any other existing 
FP.  An example is David's "JKR's priorities and how they affect 
interpretation" at Message 31,937.  There are also lots of good 
messages comparing HP to other great lit.  Do we need an FP for 
Messages that are just really good and thought-provoking, or is 
there a place for these posts already?
