Whale?  In Poseidon Adventure?  I sure don't remember that part.  I 
thought that the ship was swamped by a tidal wave (although that 
seems equally improbable.)  
Agree with all comments on the main list volume.  It is a pity that 
the volume is keeping some of the older (perhaps I should say, more 
*long-term*) members of the list from posting.  I have lurked on the 
main list for years (since the old days on egroups!) and have only 
recently started posting.  Now I am feeling guilty as though I am 
part of the problem about which everyone is complaining.  It reminds 
me of a comment that I once read made by an old-timer on the Hamptons 
about the hoards of tourists that were descending upon the sleepy 
little towns--"They come here for something that they destroy by 
being here."  (Or something to that effect.)  
Sorry old-timers. Come back.  All the long-term lurkers know you all 
by name and are interested in what you have to say (even if it is 
about Harry seeing/not seeing thesrals, James being Head Boy when he 
was not a prefect and (my personal least favorite) the number of 
students at Hogwarts.)

Elle (who seems to recall a lot of teeth-gnashing about recurrent 
questions referring to "the gleam in DD's eye" and James/Lily coming 
out of Voldemort's wand in the wrong order after GoF was released)
