For the past several months, we (the List Administration Team) have been handling the disruption of several of the HP lists by an individual or individuals, and it has gotten to a point which we feel to be harassment. In addition, a threat has been made offlist to at least one member of the current admin team, and we are concerned that harassment of list members may have extended to others beyond admin team members. Until now, we have been handling this within the admin team, and have done our best to avoid burdening the lists with this situation - we felt it was an administrative problem, and so should be dealt with internally. Recently, however, we received a message which made it much more than just a list admin problem. We were contacted via the owners address with a frank threat against the lists, indicating that, unless certain demands are met, an irreversible action will be taken that will damage the HPFGU list community. The action was not specified; however, one of our auxiliary HPFGU lists was recently deleted by Yahoo, and the sender of this e-mail apparently took credit for that action, implying that "Terms of Use violations" were reported. Other owner messages have made reference to "holes" in our security. This threat may be as innocuous as the formation of an alternate list. However, we cannot ignore the possibility that serious harm may be intended to the HPFGU family of lists, and we felt it only fair that you should be alerted. This is your list community too. Some of us are concerned that we are being manipulated into complaining on the public HPFGU lists, or forwarding the emails, so a complaint for a violation of Yahoo's Terms of Use could be made. For that reason, we are not providing any names in this email. As our experience with the auxiliary group showed, Yahoo does not give notice before they delete a group. While it might seem incredible that they would delete a group with nearly 90,000 posts and three-plus years of history without investigating the details of an accusation, we have to be cautious, and beg Yahoo to listen to both sides of the story if a complaint is made. We are doing whatever we can to improve security on the lists. We will do our best to avoid any disruption of services, and we ask your understanding if odd things should happen to the lists. We intend to do whatever we can to prevent any damage to the HPFGU family of lists, including deletion of any other lists, should that be the form this threat takes. However, should any HPFGU list(s) become inaccessible, you can visit The Lexicon at http://www.hp-lexicon.org for status updates and, if necessary, relocation information. Finally, in closing, we wish to apologize. We know the unresponsiveness of the admin team has been a source of frustration to many of you. It has been a source of frustration to us as well. We each have only so many hours to devote to HP, and over the past few months, most of them have been devoted to dealing with this situation. It has taken our time, energy, and enthusiasm away from our proper tasks: the fostering and running of these lists. And until this situation is resolved, some of our time must continue to be devoted to dealing with it. So we ask your continuing patience and understanding, while we do everything we can to protect this family of lists. Sincerely, The HPforGrownups List Administration Team From gwendolyngrace at gwendolyngrace.yahoo.invalid Tue Dec 9 13:42:29 2003 From: gwendolyngrace at gwendolyngrace.yahoo.invalid (Gwen) Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 05:42:29 -0800 (PST) Subject: HPEF Issues Open Call for 2006 Bids Message-ID: <20031209134229.33846.qmail@...> For immediate release December 9, 2003 HP Education Fanon, Inc., the organization behind Nimbus - 2003 and its sequel, The Witching Hour, issues an open call for bids to host a 2006 event. HP Education Fanon, HPEF for short, is an educational organization whose primary mission is to provide educational symposia on J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels for fans, as well as scholars of the novels. HPEF's first event, Nimbus 2003, took place in Orlando, Florida July 17 - 20, 2003; six hundred attendees enjoyed presentations by more than eighty speakers, including Judith Krug, director of the Office for Intellectual Freedom at the American Library Association. Its second event, The Witching Hour, will be held October 6-11, 2005, in Salem, Massachusetts. For their third event, HPEF strongly desires a location west of the Rockies. Because of Internal Revenue Service considerations (since HPEF is a 501(c)3 non-profit entity), HPEF prefers locations within the United States for 2006 as well. Potential bid teams should contact the Board of Directors at HPEF @ yahoogroups.com (no spaces) with: the name(s) of the Committees Executive Chair(s), contact information for that person(s), and the proposed location of the event (if known) as soon as they have determined they wish to bid. Please use the subject line, Interest in 2006 Bid in your email. It should be noted that a team is already working on a bid for Las Vegas for 2006. This team is considered a strong candidate for the event, but by no means are other teams barred from putting together an entry. Anyone interested in contacting the Las Vegas team to help or volunteer may contact their Executive Chair, Deb McLain, at debmclain @ yahoo.com, no spaces. The deadline for submissions of bids for the 2006 event will be February 15, 2004.

Bill Weasley begins his education at Hogwarts in 1975, in the middle of Voldemort's reign of terror. He never suspects that the Gryffindor prefects he looks up to, Lily Evans and James Potter, will eventually have a son who saves the wizarding world, nor that the Weasley family will eventually play an important role in the Dark Lord's fall. All he knows is that in a very scary wizarding world, Hogwarts is a safe haven where he has always longed to be-- until, that is, there are whispers of vampires and werewolves, of Death Eaters and traitors, and a Seeress pronounces a Prophecy which will shake the wizarding world to its very foundations.... For the beginning, go to: http://www.schnoogle.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=2834 Chapter 20 rounds out the prequel and sets the stage for Psychic Serpent: The Guardians The Dursleys meet Mrs. Figg and decide to take a chance on her as a babysitter for Harry, not realizing her connection to the wizarding world. Peter is determined to protect the Weasleys, especially Ginny and his owner, Percy, but sometimes being the pet rat of a five-year- old with a mind of his own is quite a challenge. However, Peter cannot protect Charlie and Bill from falling in love with the same girl, nor force her to tell Bill her deep, dark secret. And up north, in the fortress of Azkaban, a father keeps his promise to his dying wife and helps his son escape from prison, never dreaming of the repercussions this will have in years to come....

Go to: http://www.ichingcounseling.com and click on the titles: "Routing Ego With Humor" is the boggart-inspired piece "Meditation: Entering the Pensieve" is the next "Voices Behind the Veil" is the death essay More are planned, and I hope everyone finds the disclaimer statement amusing: it was, in fact, a stated requirement of Mr. Little's office (JKR's lit agent). I am actively soliciting criticism and suggestions for this work, so that future essays will be better. So far, I have seen very enthusiastic feedback from my own clients and students, and now would like to see a more diverse range of reaction. And may all have a magical holiday season.

Chapter 30 of Harry Potter and the Triangle Prophecy is up on Schnoogle! (After this, there's just the Epilogue.) Harry hears about the rest of the battle when he returns, and finds that Godric's Hollow wasn't the only front in the war. He must cope both with the loss of many friends and schoolmates and with the repercussions of his own sacrifice. He both feels it was the right thing to do and questions whether it was really worth it. Can it be reversed? And if it can be--should it be? The third part of the Psychic Serpent Trilogy.
