Thank you, Cindy.  I've found the latest version (HPfGU Main List 
Spreadsheet II.xls, I think there's a funny block near the 
beginning).  The other is hpfgu-postsum.zip isn't it?  I also nabbed 
the enchilada while I was at it, if that's OK (I can delete it if 
you don't like).  It's really impressive.  Who invented this keyword 
thingy you are doing?

I think I made the right decision a year ago not to join this list, 
though.  Just too time consuming.

Did Cindy explain MEG is the admin team - stands for mods elves 
geists so technically the name is obsolete now.

No, no, just carry on.  But...

Some interesting people around here.  Morgan, Derannimer, Phyllis - 
do you know what you are getting into with this bunch?  Charis 
Julia - the crash course in Demotic and, er, the other one, was 
fascinating.  Ah, Kathaverousa - I went back and memorised the 
spelling and typed it out from memory - that way I can be sure of 
impressing somebody some day as you never know when you may meet, 
say, an EU Greek translator.

Oh, and I did my standard paranoia thing and searched on my own 
name - reminds me I never *did* follow up that JKR's priorities post 
as Penny asked.

I probably ought not to hang around really - it's just too tempting 
and I'd only distract you all (and vice versa).  It's not as if I'd 
do any actual work here.
