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. ;-)
Debbie:

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
