Main List Survival Strategy (WAS: Retreating to the safety of OTChatter

[Tim Regan]

Hi All,

It's not all a bad thing though. I assiduously avoided the lists 
until I finished OoP, at about 3am Pacific time on Tuesday morning. 
Finishing such a long awaited book, and such an amazing read, always 
leaves me with an empty feeling, but the torrent of email on the 
main list has helped to keep the sense of being part of a great 
event alive in me. 

I also wouldn't worry too much about having to adapt reading and 
posting habits to the new environment. In a year's time, or two 
years, or three years, the cream of the theories will have risen to 
the top, the posting volume and quality should be back to normal, 
and book 6 won't be out. And my brilliant posts still won't spawn 
the broad and deep threads they should ;-)

Cheers,

Dumbledad

PS If we are rousing the List Elves to slap wrists, there do seem to 
be too many one line posts on the HPFGU-Movie list these days. Not 
that I'm advocating that the posters adopt TBAY habits
