ADMIN: HPFGU's Future : List Elf Opportunities : List Etiquette & Questions

[John Walton]

Dear members,

I've got a couple of things in this message. Thanks in advance for reading
it.

HPFGU'S FUTURE

We're having some great responses from those folks who have hopped over to
the database. Please, if you haven't gone there yet, or even if you have and
have thought of something else, leave us a message. It's completely
confidential, no member names or anything are shown. It's vitally important
that you, the members, tell us where you want this group to go.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/database?method=reportRows&tbl=1
0

You should also (if you haven't already) make your views known about where
you think discussion about the upcoming movie should go in our Movie List
Poll:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/surveys?id=729738

It's currently tied, so get voting if you haven't already!

LIST ELF OPPORTUNITIES

Do you have what it takes to be an elf? HPFGU is seeking new List Elves.
List Elves assist new members of HPFGU in cooking, cleaning and list
maintenance. Oh, yeah, and they welcome new members with a personal offlist
email.  List Elves should be the type of HP fanatics who can not go for more
than a few hours without checking this group, and who are willing to spend
far more time than they should thinking about HP-related activities.

Like all elf positions, this one is without any sort of compensation except
the spiritual satisfaction of being a good elf.  However, there are some
benefits:

1. You get to join the HPFGU-Moderators group and participate in all of the
HPFGU policy-making discussions.  In addition, this group frequently has
other exciting discussions, such as a current exciting thread on Minerva
McGonagall's bra size.

2.  We can't think of any other benefits.

Email the Mods @ hpforgrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com if interested, etc.
Only those with names easily changed to end in -y should apply ::grin::

LIST ETIQUETTE & QUESTIONS

Couple of things in this department, as usual. Could people please remember
to trim posts they're replying to. In other words, if you're replying to a
paragraph from a four-page post, trim the part that your email program
copies from the old message so that only the pertinent bit is left.

Also, for answers to list-based questions you might have, there's nowhere
better than the VFAQ file --

For more general HP facts, check out the Harry Potter Lexicon --

And for the group's series of substantive FAQ-based essays based on replies
to the group, head on over to the FAQ essay page at the Lexicon

Cheers!
