That tears it!  

We simply have to face up to what is happening here.  We need a new 
keyword.  A keyword for really good and long and detailed posts that 
take many lines to catalogue.  

Mmmm, how about simply "Elkins?"  ;-)


Debbie:

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

Fear not, Debbie!  Sooner or later, you'll hit a bad patch of 
posts.  I did, and now my line count matches my message number count.

I slept peacefully last night.  ;-)

Oh, that's easy.  The Malfoys are wizards and the Dursleys are 
muggles.  I mean, Duh!  ;-)

Seriously, there are really only two Malfoys (Lucius and Draco).  
Narcissus doesn't count, see, because she has no lines and hardly 
anyone talks about her apart from Lucius.  But the Dursleys?  People 
talk about them separately and collectively all the time, often in 
conjunction with other canon characters.

Nah, the Malfoys are no trouble at all.  Where I have trouble, 
though, is Mrs. and Mr. Lestrange, neither of whom has a first 
name.  Unless I go with "Florence."  ;-)

should she get hit by a bus, but who told them to hold out for a 
really good price
