ADMIN: While the elves were busy with the main list...

[hpfgu_elves]

"Pssst, come and see this."

Smiley Elf gathers the other List Elves and they peer in at the 
activity on OTC.

"What?" "I don't get it?" "What are we looking for?"

Smiley Elf shakes her head, "Don't you see all the spoilers? They're 
*everywhere*!"

The Elves nod their heads; Rylly Elf approaches and says, "They 
breed, you know."

Smiley nods knowingly, "Yes, once they're here they're nearly 
impossible to get rid of. Anyone have a solution?"

The Elves put their heads together and much muttering is heard, with 
the occasional "yes", "no" and "Are you crazy?" The huddle breaks up 
and in a collective voice they say, "We've decided that we'll just 
have to live with spoilers. After all, there's really no cure for 
them, is there?"

Smiley Elf looks up at the denizens of OTC. "So there you have it, 
fellow list members, the List Elves are declaring that OTC is now 
open for discussion of HBP–"

Penapart Elf interrupts, "Whoa - on-topic discussion of HBP should be 
on the main list!"

"...HBP-related topics that are off-topic," Smiley Elf continued, 
pointing to the corner of the room and the large object labeled: "Off-
Topic: That which does not contribute to our understanding and 
interpretation of canon."

"To those members who have read HBP and want to post comments here, 
please make sure to include *spoiler warnings* in the subject heading 
and give ample spoiler space to help out those who want to avoid 
spoilers. For those unlucky members who are still waiting for their 
translations, tread carefully and read at your own risk. The elves 
extend their apologies to anyone who was inadvertently spoiled by any 
posts here."
