ADMIN: Let's play nice and stay on topic, please

Greetings from Hexquarters!

We elfy types have noticed a bit of a tendency for this list to drift
off-topic lately, and we wanted to take this opportunity to enlist
your assistance in keeping threads on-topic and in generally helping
the HPfGU-Movie list run smoothly.

All posts to the Movie list must discuss topics related to the HP
movies. Please remember that a mere mention of JK Rowling or of a
character's name does *not* make a post on topic. The post itself
needs to say something about the HP movies, actors, etc.

If you want to respond only to extraneous, non-movie points, please
post your response to our sister list, HPFGU-OTChatter list, which
is the place for all off-topic posts. It's a fun and friendly place
where people enjoy talking about all sorts of things, and it can be
found at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter

We would like to remind all members to discuss the topic, not other
members. Disagreement with the other's points should be based on
one's own points or interpretations, not based on one's
interpretations of the other member.

Disagreements should also be courteously phrased, and opinion
language should be used when expressing an opinion. We elves have
noticed that things seem to heat up rapidly on the list when members
state strongly-held opinions as if they were fact. This can
understandably cause consternation in others and is why our posting
rules require the use of opinion language: '...when expressing an
opinion (as opposed to citing canon) or other beliefs (e.g.,
religious) be sure to make this clear ("I believe..." or "In my
opinion...").'

For further information about these and our other posting rules,
check out our posting guidelines at

Thanks!
