I have every confidence you will be able to ruin everyone's fun.

Here's some more: 34051-34250

Also, an interesting point from 34025 which I hadn't considered 
before - who bit Lupin?

Hi, Bobby. I'm glad we're still on speaking terms.

Well, my characterization of Moody there *was* bigoted and offensive, 
and your retaliation in kind *did* prove a highly effective means of
leading me to recognize that fact. The rebuke was warranted, and 
while the tone may have been a bit flamey for the prevailing standards
of this particular forum, it did have its desired effect. 

I'm accustomed to a much harsher mode of debate than that found here, 
actually, and can take a _lot_ without flinching. So I wouldn't feel 
too regretful, if I were you (although for the sake of the Mods, we 
should definitely try to keep it genteel in the future, and not scare 
too many horses).

In short: no harm, no foul.

On to the topics...
