Hey, Ron and Weasley FAQ-ers

[Simon]

Hello,

"Charlie's

>Imagine my surprise when I went to the Ron Weasley FAQ and found not a

>found a brief mention in a paragraph under "Ages of the Weasley Family
>Members," but with no footnote to a thread-link.

>The 7th son thing was never a major thread, but the Missing Child theory
has

I wrote the original Weasleys FAQ, but have not been involved with FAQing
for quite a while. When I was last involved there were around 15,000
messages on the main list. I would guess that this is roughly 18 months ago.
Consequently I no longer have anything FAQ related.

As far as I know nothing on either of the above topics had been mentioned
while I was FAQing. If it had I am sure it would be in the FAQ. I believe
that both are reasonably new topics and personally I point my finger at
certain fanfics which touch on one, either or both issues.
