ME:
Well, between midnight and 10 p.m. (US central) today, there were 575 
posts on HPfGU... hey folks, you're slooowing down... maybe by next 
week the list will be READABLE again?? ;-)

However there is one really good post on HPfGU that everyone should 
read:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/64556

This is the FAQ that Grey Wolf wrote. I liked it so much I put a link 
to it on my livejournal.

And a few minutes ago I told my husband about the 575 messages in 
less than one day on a list with over 8,000 members, and how various 
people say they read this 870 page book in 6 hours (or less, in some 
cases) while I felt good reading it in 2.5 days which included 
sleeping 7 hours each night AND taking blocks of 4-8 hours off each 
day to deal with Real Life stuff... and he just kind of shook his 
head and said, "You know, Anne, you're kind of obsessive {moi?}, but 
these folks..."
