Yeah, I seem to be missing those except for the revisiting of the
Prank/Shrieking Shack I. I'm going through a lot of LOLLIPOPS at the
moment and coding Snape is just overkill for those.

I'm keeping the vampire ones. You need a laugh.

Thank God I haven't run into them. I really seem to have got the good
bits by comparison.

I have WMUG - Worlds Most Unreliable GPRS, which is also expensive.
But its net, and the catalogue isnt that slow for me. I usually note
about 4 or 5 posts at once and limit my pain that way.

I keep note of the blocks and whether a post was uncoded or rejected.
So if a block is mostly good its obvious and if its mostly bad it is
too. A quick note on the primary threads is handy because you can zero
in on the problem areas, which is why I've re-reviewed 300 already. I
agree about Snape/Neville but I'm also pruning for relevance, opinion
isn't terribly original by this stage of the list.

ewe2, who's had a nice nap and will now attack a couple of blocks tonight.
