Hey, whoa! Lots of stuff to digest.

[Just so everyone knows, I don't have access from home, and so 
sometimes if I can't make it to the library or the internet cafe I'm 
cut off from HPfGU world entirely. Luckily I made it to this cafe 
tonight before they close, so I'll have a little time to read 
through everything. ;-) ] 

Anyways, Amanda, thank you VERY much for your offer to help, and I 
do have something in mind, if you'd be game. 

I haven't yet had a chance to go through the catalogues and run a 
Ctrl-F on certain key DE terms (like Dark Mark, power boost, major 
DE names and so forth - you know, only the major ones, nothing 
like "Rosier" or whatever) and going through the archives manually 
is fairly tedious... I've been making limited progress, but after 
several thousand posts I realized a major flaw in my method: I was 
only checking titles that looked related, and so I am fairly certain 
that I missed a lot of content using that method.

But if you have access from home, then I think it'd be much easier 
for you to download the catalogues and run the quick searches for 
those terms at your leisure... I mean, there's no rush or anything. 
When you've finished a catalogue, you could send or post relevant 
message #'s. No need to read them all yourself, or write anything; 
I'd be glad to do that (unless you *want* to write stuff). 

>From my end, it's *finding* the stuff that's the most arduous part, 
since I can't just save the catalogue files on a hard disk and work 
on them whenever, and the libraries and netcafes don't like it when 
stuff is downloaded. In fact, they make it almost impossible to do...

Anyways, if that sounds do-able, then thanks very much for the 
offer. 

Okay, now to check everything else. ;-)

-Tom
