Crouch & Goblins & Trolls (and Barnyard Quidditch!)

[Debbie]

Ah!  Catalog activity!  The last time I popped by everyone was off 
moonlighting except poor Ginger, who was nearly passed out from her 
meds and mumbling something delightfully incoherent about palomino 
ponies and golden eggs.  After making sure the horse blanket wasn't 
slipping off, I tiptoed away so quickly I forgot to deliver the 
Crouch Jr. Report (2.10.4).  So here it is:

Was: 589
Now: 333
Plus two acronyms (FORLORN BARTEMIUS and BABEMEISTER), unchanged at 
1 and 2 posts, respectively

It's fair to say that we don't need any more posts on why Crouch 
taught Harry to resist the Imperius Curse. I did my best to cull 
down the others, too, but there was a surprising variety of angles 
to examine Crouch from, and Elkins used them all.    

Goblins (2.14.3):
I peeked into the Beings category I signed up for (all 997 of them) 
and took a preliminary look at the Goblins.  Since there were only 
37 posts, I also peeked at 3.2.4 (Money and Banking; Gringotts; 
taxes) and I suspect there's quite a bit of overlap.  I can't recall 
if that category has been done yet (I think not) but I propose to 
move the posts relating to "why did the WW put the Goblins in charge 
of the money?" posts over to 3.2.4 unless they also touch on some 
questions relating to Goblins' abilities, natures, etc.  Sound 
good?  And I'd be willing to offer to do 3.2.4 as well, if it's not 
done, for consistency.  (There's also the subsidiary benefit of 
being able to read the posts on taxes. <g>)

Trolls (2.14.8):
Ahem!  According to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in 1811 
Grogan Stump, the newly appointed MoM, decreed that to be a "being" 
sufficient intelligence was needed to understand the laws of the 
magical community.  "Troll representatives were questioned in the 
absence of goblins and judged not to understand anything that was 
being said to them; they were therefore classified as "beasts" 
despite their two-legged gait."

I therefore petition to remove 2.14.8 to the "beasts" category.  
However, to relieve any added burden on the Beasts reviewer, I 
reviewed this category first (all 3 posts!) and reduced them to 1 
post.

Can you tell I'm putting off attacking the house elves (750 of the 
997 beings posts) as long as possible?
