Tom:
Again, I have to be quick here... got a ton of questions regarding 
Cindy's Howler as compared to what the HB File says Howlers are used 
for, because now that I know that Cindy was Howlered for asking 
questions and trying to resolve administrative issues, I'm kinda 
afraid that MEG's going to Howler me for asking questions and trying 
to resolve administrative issues. Seems like an obvious connection to 
make, y'know? So while I'm dangling by a thread, I figure I better 
ask as many questions as I can. ;-)

Anyways, I think Abigail has a point here (that perhaps we have too 
many topics), but would like to add a sentiment to that.

Seven topics may be too many topics for eighteen people to tackle - 
as is the case right now. 

However, I don't think that it's too many topics for thirty-nine 
people to tackle. I.e. if everyone on FAQ - aside from the purely-
tech folks - was working on an FP, we could tackle as many as eight - 
or even nine - topics easily... that'd be four people per topic with 
seven (or three, in the case of nine topics) left over to do other 
stuff.

-Tom, who is wondering if he can entice Amanda to join the Dark Side 
Slytherin Team ("Weasley is our king..."), since Death Eaters are a 
specialty of hers and her posts figure prominently in the stuff I've 
collected to date. ;-)
