Fwd: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Obsessed Readers

[Anne <urbana@charter.net>]

Moving this topic from the main list to here, I'll begin with my 
original post from earlier this morning:


I just discovered at least 50 (and possibly 70) new messages since I 
last read this message board last night. So it got me to wondering 
something that probably should be moved to the OT-Chatter list 
immediately: Does anyone of the 5,700+ members of this group read 
*every* message? (and if so, when do you find time to do anything 
else?? :-) I assume the mods have to read all the messages, but does 
anyone else? I'm not trying to be snide, I just realized that there's 
no way on earth I'll ever be able to read all the messages on this 
list AND do other things I'm supposed to be doing (like, uh, working 
at my job, which is what I should be doing right now). 

I really love reading what people have to say (even the 12K messages)
so I'm feeling a bit depressed that I will certainly have to miss out 
on many of the insights that people bring to this discussion. Like 
Hermione, I guess I want to be able to do it all, and realize that I 
really can't :-(

Well -- what about the 1,100+ members of THIS group? The traffic on 
this list isn't usually excessive but how many of y'all read all the 
messages on the main list??
