Ugh. On this side of the pond, "peeps" are little obnoxious cloying
too-sweet nasty chick-shaped confections in a range of unnatural colors
trotted out every Easter. For the proper use of Peeps, please see

Or, for the misuse of another American icon, the Twinkie:

I love this! As a parent of three, all of whom are too young for these
books yet (oldest is 6), I am continually somewhat abashedly explaining
to people that no, my kids aren't into them, *I* am. Glad to know
someone else's Mom is like that, too....

Do both. Here's for stuff like the links above, general enjoyment, like
the conversations you'd have at the lunch events or in the general room
at a conference. Over there is for the sorts of things you'd discuss at
table conferences or see presented in papers, that sort of thing.

Alas, no, but just from the question it's clear you'll fit right in.
Welcome! Don't forget that your first post on the main list *must*
include some question answered in the FAQs (I am *kidding*, everyone!).
Actually, lucky man, you joined just after the FAQs actually got up and
online. They're still in progress, but they're dedicated creations of
folk who've been working on them for months, and those that *are* up
(::clears throat in direction of coordinator of Snape FAQ:::) are a
wonder. I don't know if the Chatter welcome message has the links, but
the main list Welcome message should. Also, when you join on the main
list you get an Elf of your very own to help you avoid faux-pas.
Okay, my kids are up now. Gotta run.
