Movie Policy and List Volume

[ameliagoldfeesh]

A Goldfeesh: 

Firstly, I'd like to say that I agree with all the movie-related 
posts being moved to the movie list.  That was a wonderful idea- 
seeing the movie-related posts (even if JKR is at fault for it)moved 
off HPFGUs is awesome.  When I restarted reading the list just 
recently it irked me seeing them onlist, and if it rankled me, I'm 
sure it bugged many others.  Good job list elves!

I'd like to say that I entirely agree with Shaun.  I can recall some 
posters that were high schoolers who posted much much better than 
posters over 30 who think age brings excellent posting skills.  
Plus, it would be a shame, as Saitaina points out, to lose List 
Elves, and possible even moderators.

I would also like to repeat that I don't think the quality of the 
list has declined really since I first joined and I joined around 
the time of the start of the acronyms and T-Bays.  I remember the 
three year summer (to use a Sugar Quill reference) when people were 
so desperate to find new stuff to talk about that Avery got his 15 
minutes of fame.  Things have changed, yes, but I think a person 
forgets all the annoying posts (and posters) from months or years 
ago when they first joined and remember the high points instead.
