[Catlady (Rita Prince Winston)]

Pshemekan wasn't in chat last week and I'm not in chat this week, so 
I guess I have to use posts to thank him for ad-aware and mozilla,
with which I am quite pleased. The reason I'm not in chat this week 
is I'm about to go to a Mushroom Tasting Party ... Lee said that for
the last few years, she's been noticing how many different varieties
of mushrooms are on offer at local supermarkets, not just the upscale
ones like Gelson's and Marina Market, and trying to think of how to
sample them all, so what she came up with was Bilbo and Frodo
Baggins's Birthday Party, with everyone bringing a quarter pound each
of two kinds of mushrooms. I suppose the party will be hanging out in
the kitchen because some mushrooms will be sauteed and some baked, as
well as some eaten raw.

<< Again, I'm new to the group and don't want to come across as
totally presumptuous, telling board veterans how to run things
however, if a HP board (with current occupants, mind you) equivalent
of the SW board was around, I imagine that we'd all have much less to
complain about. >>

Fiction Alley (which is an HP universe) hosts a world of message
boards (Fiction Alley Park) with the features you praised. An 
entrance is at http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/

*jumps in excitement* There is a 20th century book in English about
that! ATLANTIS OF THE NORTH by Jurgen Spanuth. I read it very
carefully searching for any sign of neo-Naziism and didn't find any.
