Geist in the machine ... the car heads for the Forbidden Forest

[Neil Ward]

Dear HPfGU members,

I thought I should let you know that I have stepped down from the Magical
Moderators of Harry Potter for Grownups after 18 months on the team.  My
thanks and respect go to the remaining Mods (Penny, John, Catherine, Cindy
and Kelley) and to the other ex-Mods (Amy, Jim and Jeralyn) with whom I've
shared the draughty admin tower.

I feel a short poem coming on...

Many a wand we waved,
Many a nit we picked,
Many a path we paved,
Many a butt we kicked.

I've been a member of HPfGU since May 2000 (two years - yikes), so I've seen
the club develop from a single list of 100 or so people into a vast,
many-tentacled monster.  I've had a wonderful time posting to the lists and,
latterly, helping to moderate them.  I've encountered interesting and varied
people, made several friends and met quite a few members in human form.

I'm still around.  I'll be joining the team of Geists (nitwits, oddments,
lurkers, geeks) who, along with the List Elves, help the Mods run the lists.
I'm still involved with HPfGU-London and hope to meet many more of you on my
foreign travels.

Although I've been unusually quiet these past six months, I may return to
posting on the lists, especially if - ahem - Book 5 makes an appearance.  At
least you know that 'ADMIN' is one prefix I probably won't be using again.
;-)

Magically,

Your rusty mechanimagus...

Neil
