::flexes wand:: 

It's great that people are starting to use this list! Hooray for
HPFGU-Movie!

Ahem. ::menacing look:: Please remember that, as with ALL HPFGU groups, you
must adhere to our netiquette rules. These include what we like to refer to
as "Typing Like A Grownup". Yep, that's right, lots of us are crotchety old
people who enjoy the use of common conventions on writing. (Hey, our eyes
are giving out. We have to be able to read your posts!) Here are some
pointers:

* We just *love* punctuation. Yep, that's right, commas, periods/full stops,
apostrophes -- they're all great. Just so long as you use them in the right
place!

* Capital Letters. Without Sounding Like A.A. Milne, we love it when folks
use capital letters at the beginning of sentences...and occasionally for
EMPHASIS. Capital letters should also be used for acronyms, particularly
web-specific ones like IIRC (If I Remember Correctly), AFAIK (As Far As I
Know) and so on. Names too ("Dan Radcliffe", "Hermione Granger") have
capitals, as do places (Hogwarts, London, The Three Broomsticks).

* Try, if at all possible, to use text email rather than HTML. We know it
can be tough when using web-mail, but since Yahoo have started putting
ENORMOUS images in the HTML sigs, it's a Good Plan.

* Read ALL our Admin Files! (I know, there are quite a few, but we're in the
process of combining them) Here's a link: www.hpfgu.org.uk/admin/

Any questions, as usual, ask your Magical Moderator Team at
hpforgrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com.

Cheers,

--John, for the Magical Mod Squad
