Lorrie, I think everyone here on this site *is* being calm.  We are
just concerned.  A few posters not obeying the rules it to be
expected.  But, this is not just a few.  This is becoming an epidemic.

Lorrie, Wendy is not talking aobut memorizing everything.  But I think
remembering three basic rules of clip posts to reflect exactly what
you are replying too, no one line posts, and follow basic proper
grammer is reasonable.  

Also know Lorrie, that most of us that are posting on this site *have*
memorized four HP books, two movies, two short school books, and are
working on the fifth really thick book.  I can tell you almost
precisely where to find where Ogg is mentioned in the books, who the
weatherman is in the first book, and how many times Harry's scar has
hurt in each book.  Lorrie, you are dealing with people that *can*
memorize everything in HP and recall it at will.  I think remembering
the rules are within reason to ask when it takes a lot of memory to
follow and participate in all the discussions.

But this is the purpose of OT.  To discuss our concerns in life.  In
love.  In religion.  In this site.  We all love it here.  We really
do, or we would not have stuck around here so long.  Theses are our
friends, and when we have concerns we talk about them.  The list elves
*are* talking back on this thread.  We are discussing this with the elves.

Hehe, well in the books we so love here on this site, it *is* the
students that ever get anything done.  ::big grin::

Well except in MD....  ::bigger grin::

It is a difficult time for the site.  And I think this thread is being
rational, calm, and collect in its discussions.  It is exploring
options, trying to find solutions, and addressing concerns.  That is
all.  It is just the agreed forum to chat together as a group about
concerns not related to canon.  And a thread, I feel, that is making
things happen so that everyone else can see.  We are a united site,
and this thread shows it.  At least to me.
