No more Dept. of Mysteries

[elady25]

I got an email today from Bob Sindeldecker (author of the "Dept. of 
Mysteries editorials on Mugglenet--I've emailed him before and he 
sent out a mass mailing to everyone in his address book, I think) 
announcing that Mugglenet has terminated relations with him.  The 
good news is his editorials have found a new home, at www.hp-
ohio.com, but I felt the need to come here and whine a bit, so 
indulge me.

According to Bob, Mugglenet found some of his columns to be too 
mature in the context of a site that caters to both adult and 
juvenile audiences.  I felt the editorials raised the tone of the 
website as a whole; I happen to like satirical wit.  This actually 
exemplifies my typical frustration with Mugglenet:  that there are so 
many (clueless) teenagers there, it's impossible to have any real 
discussions on HP topics (hence why I belong to HPFGU).  Anyway, I 
don't think there's anything to do about it but whine, but I have 
been regularly checking their updates to see when his new article 
would be posted.  I'm glad to know they've found a new home, and I 
think HP-ohio may suit them better because it is and adult group, but 
I honestly didn't see a problem with the articles themselves. 

I often get annoyed by the kids on Mugglenet's message boards; they 
often seem to have as much intelligence as Slytherin beaters.

Anyway, thanks for letting me rant.
