[HPFGU-OTChatter] Why I'm thinking of unsubbing.

	1. My first inkling of trouble was immediately following the 
	publication of OoP when it seemed that virtually EVERY familiar 
	poster on the main list vanished overnight. "Ok," I thought,
"they're 
	formulating their usual well-thought-out responses." And so I 
	scrolled patiently through the "Why couldn't Harry see the 
	Thestrals?" posts and the "I'm new here!" posts, and the "Sorry
if 
	this has been brought up before," posts while I waited. And
waited. 
	And waited. It's been months now and I can still say with
confindence 
	that the overwhelming majority of posts on the mainlist right
now are 
	by people I do not recognize as having been there prior to the 
	publication of OoP. I have no problem with that in and of
itself, but 
	UNTIL LAST NIGHT continued to wonder where my favorite posters
were.
	
	Thank you, Cindy, for telling us that they quietly removed
themselves 
	from us rabble and took themselves off to a private
inner-sanctum 
	where the word "Thestral" has probably yet to be typed. I find
this 
	*disgusting*. Ok, you wanted some peace and quiet, I don't blame
you, 
	but just how long are you planning to stay away, "Old Crowd"? 
	 
	BIG HUGE SNIP
	 
	Now Tonya:
	 
	I have been trying my hardest to stay out of all this junk but I
have to speak up now.  I am not sure the actual difinition of "old
crowd" but the way I am reading it here that means those who belonged to
the group before OOP.  Well, I belonged to the group before OOP, so does
that make me one of those you are talking about??    
	 
	I don't find the list boring nor am I looking for some private
space.  If I was it certianly would not be in a group of 11,000 people
now would it??   On the other hand maybe we do need to look into the
administration end of the group and decided how we want our group run,
personally I hardly ever hear from admin unless I have posted
inproperly.  I have no idea what their jobs entails I am sure with
sooooo many people on the list it is hard work and I respect them for
doing it.  
	

	
	I  really do not agree with some of the tones people have been
taking with others, very disrespectful.  I do hope that will stop soon.

	 
	Why are we here??  We LOVE HARRY!!  Let's get back to what is
really imporatant here....

tired of them)
