Yep, it was just me. By some mishap, the date order of the list had 
got inverted. You can see I am in slow recovery mode today.



Debbie:

Can I get some clarification here? We are *only* putting the post
that coins the acronym in the acronym category? I was just about to
move the entire Reverse Memory Charm debate to its very own MATCHING 
ARMCHAIR. Should I not do that?

C - No, that's fine. I should have said all the posts directly 
discussing LYCANTHROPY as an acronym-ed theory (about 4 as I recall).

Though it does raise the question whether they should be dual-coded 
to that acronym and ESE!Lupin - what do you think Ginger?

Debbie:
'Who says we can't? Any subversive can do it.'

 C- I just came across the term 'Bangst' in a post to describe that 
feeling of fearing the plot will not being bangy enough. Rather good 
I thought.


Debbie:
A final question from an ignorant Yank: what is Berry Bros?

C - It's a very old and famous wine merchants in London - see this 
link for history. As you can see, a very suitable place for grumpy 
old curmudgeons.
