I was amused!  Thanks.

One additional list phenomenon, post-new-canon, that I didn't see you
mention: there's the fact that so many people just *have* to write a
post saying "How did Lucius know Sirius was the dog? Is there a spy in
the Order?" and slap it up with their name on it despite the fact that
several dozen other listies have already done so.  This of course,
along with all the other low-wattage posts, leads to the situation
where it is now *impossible* to read all the posts before writing one
of your own, unless you have literally nothing else to do.

Then each of these posts spawns an entire thread in which no-one seems
ever to stop to think that perhaps, as it *says in the book,* Wormtail
will have informed LV and the DEs about Sirius' canine form.  But,
hey.  They're *theorising,* the dears.

*rolls eyes*

Right.  Back to Harry recoding.  I'm almost up to where I'd hoped to
be by the end of July 4.
