Longest catalogue entry so far & Uploading

Ok, I uploaded my next catalogue, with only 35 posts done, because if *I* get hit by a truck you can't retrieve it from my sniffling loved ones.  You will have to beg my office to borrow my laptop, but even that will do you no good because it has lockdown security that's better than Fort Knox.  To unlock the computer, you would need to try entering all my favorite authors until you hit upon the password of the month.  And I have a *lot* of favorite authors.  And even if you passed that barrier, you'd still have to find it on my hard drive, which even I find difficult.

So I spared you this ordeal.

I believe I have this beat.  Message 43024  ("Fred and George:  The Bullies You Do Know") required 6 lines.  Among other things, it examined Fred & George's ill treatment of every conceivable canon character, including Ron's poor pets.  And the first response (of about 100) refuted each one, point by point.  Not to mention several other long, thought-provoking messages.  With the result that, I also beat

So far, my count is 35 posts, 57 lines, no deadwood.

Aha!  If Cindy could be tried for inconsistency, this would be Exhibit A.  My poor befuddled mind still doesn't understand how the Malfoys are different from the Dursleys.  Does JKR ever refer to him as anything other than Lucius or Mr. Malfoy?  But I'm being a good little coder, working in my dungeon, and I have been using "Malfoy" for Lucius even though it confuses me to no end.
