Yeah, me too.

I think I will take your idea  -- read it twice before going back to 
the group.  I *always* inhale the book the first time, and then savor 
it the second time (but *never* spot the significance of names like 
"Remus Lupin" for Pete's sake!)

Then I figure I'll read some of the first posts, out of curiousity, to 
see how well-thought-out they seem to be.  Then I'm afraid I'll skip 
ahead to the current ones and go from there.  I don't see how anyone 
would ever be able to read them all!

So, maybe in around mid-August, we could ask people what their 
favorite OoP posts & threads were so far, in case anyone missed a 
really good one?  And if you see your favorite appear, don't post it 
again -- that could keep the number of *those* posts down to something 
reasonable?  I'm sure many of the good ones will cause long threads 
you can't help but notice, but surely not all of them?
