Good job. (And cute Ellen DeGeneres reference.)  I just found out 
that my brother got addicted because he discovered that our kids are 
really into Harry Potter.  I had thought he just discovered it on his 
own (he's not into discussion lists, though).  Now he sends my son 
and daughter regular Owl Post (with the help of the US Mail) in which 
he includes Harry Potter trading cards and stickers and messages 
about not letting the Muggles get them down (I think he means me and 
my husband; I have a bone to pick with him on that).  The kids think 
they have the weirdest uncle on the planet, but they're always 
thrilled when they get home from school and discover that there's 
mail from Uncle Steve because they know it will include Harry Potter 
stuff.  Does anyone else have kids who think it's slightly 
embarassing that the adults in their lives are also into Harry 
Potter?  Sheesh...you'd think they were children's books or 
something...
