<BODY>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks Penny and Melanie for your help,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Turned out that I am a member of another egroup for a horse rescue group I'm involved with. When I tried to register, it said I was already registered. So maybe I did it when the other group was set up and used an old, forgotten password. The other group only uses the group email feature so I never have to go online to egroups for that group. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Now that I can get into the site, I do have a question about how to classify messages. If we have a message for instance about the possibility of a romance between Bill and Fleur, do I just add it to the romance line or do I also make a note of it in the Weasley line, etc. </FONT></P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Margaret</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm going to try & help (but my technical competence level is low)!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If you've never used egroups before, then yes, you do need to register.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Go to egroups.com. Mine "remembers" me so I don't have to sign in each</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>time. But, I suspect you do need to register if you've never done so</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>before.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If you have registered before but it's not accepting your password, is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>it possible you've forgotten your password?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Anyway, once egroups lets you in -- this group should be one of the ones</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>listed on the left-hand side of the screen. You're sending & receiving</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>email from this group, so you must be subscribed.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Aacck. Not sure if I'm helping or not -- maybe someone else will have</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>suggestions to offer.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>> .K. I finally got started with my messages today. But being an egroups</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> virgin, I have no clue how to get into our site. So can someone lead</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> me step by step? I did go into egroups.com and tried to use 'my</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> groups' but when I put in my email address and the password I always</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> use, it said the password was unknown. Do I have to register? (You'd</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> think a computer programmer could figure this out, wouldn't you? But</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I'm strictly mainframe. I get really lost with this PC stuff.)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> To Melanie, I wouldn't mind doing the maintenance on the Lupin and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Dumbledore FAQs. I'm assuming there is one for each even if I haven't</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> been able to get into our site to see them. I might be able to take</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> some of the others when I can see what they are. I'm with Penny</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> though; I don't want the casting stuff. I do read it but just to see</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> how outrageous it's getting: David McCallum for my Lupin? He's DECADES</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> too old, please!</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Anyway, thanks in advance to whoever jumps in to help.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Hi:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> When you have a moment, take a look at the Master List of FAQs that I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> created & put in the "Database" section of our egroups. We can add &</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> edit this as necessary. It's based on the topical groupings from</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> people who've sifted through their messages & my own thoughts. Paul:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> love some of your heading titles (especially New York Times: Evil</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Behavior). <vbg></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> We can change this -- but I started out with the premise that we</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> could</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> group some sub-topics under a larger topic. For example, I have a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> FAQ on Hogwarts. I would expect that would include the theories</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> about</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> where Hogwarts is located, whether there is tuition, the size of the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> student body, where the professors live & whether they're married or</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> not, etc.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Similarly, I set up a FAQ for each of the major characters (I know, I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> forgot Pettigrew -- we'll add him). The Hermione page would have a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> cross-link to the Names (meanings) FAQ, a physical description of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Hermione, her personality, a cross-link to the Romance Pairings FAQ,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the prounciation of her name, etc.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> For the Committee: I've created columns for the name of the person</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> creating the FAQ, date of completion & who's responsible for</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> maintaining it. My thought is that once the FAQs are written, we</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> might be able to talk some of the other members into volunteering to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> maintain a FAQ or 2. That way, we, the 5-person Committee, won't be</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> trying to maintain 10-15 FAQs each.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Heidi has expressed an interest in the Geography FAQ (where is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Hogwarts, the Burrow, Diagon Alley, etc.) & the Mythology FAQ. I am</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> placing dibs on Hermione. I'm assigning "CoverArt" & "Other</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Recommended Reading" to Skimmel if he'll do them. He usually weighs</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> heavily on both those topics. If you're not a member of the 5-person</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> "Committee" but want to do one or more of the FAQs, let me know.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> We're more than happy to take your help. And, I do not want to be</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> stuck with Casting. <g></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Oh, email the group with your "dibs" on various FAQs. That way</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Melanie will know that Neil has already placed dibs on "Potter,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Harry"</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> for example. That is, I won't have to sort through & figure out who</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> put dibs on something first. You might want to think about initially</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>; volunteering for one large FAQ and some of the smaller ones. I</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> wanted</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to try & sort them into large ones and then more minor ones, but then</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> my head started to hurt.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Is any of this making sense? <g>;</FONT>
