Hello!

[lucky_kari]

Hi, I just subscribed to the OT-list, and I'm going to unsubscribe 
again, now, being one of those very timid people who is afraid of 
where OT discussions can go, but I wanted to post a Thankyou Note to 
the powers that be that would be clearly OT on the main list.

I am still, I feel, a newbie, only joining the list in early December. 
And it's been a great experience. At first, it was a challenge trying 
to keep track of all the rules, but the list's Moderated policy was a 
wonderful way of getting me off my feet. The extensive FAQ were very 
helpful in letting me know not to post, "Did anyone else notice that 
gleam in Dumbledore's eyes?" At first, I felt overwhelmed, and just 
read, but now I post way too much, and have earned myself a reputation 
as one of those terrible FEATHERBOAS members. 

On occasions, I've contravened the rules, and receieved Howlers for 
those lapses. I've tried to take these with good grace, because I 
really did deserve them. They remind me to behave more dutifully in 
the future. 

I am so very grateful that politics has been banned from the list, 
since I would be guilty of wading into it, if it hadn't. 

This has definitely been the most positive list I've ever been on, 
other than ones consisting of RL friends. Usually, I quit lists after 
awhile because of chaos and rancour that seems to abound on them, but 
HPFGU has got to be the most fair-spoken, well-oiled, fun list I've 
ever encountered. I salute and thank the moderators and all the 
members!
