But the question now is whether we should keep the movie and book
lists separate. The main list, which is much larger than the Movie
list, is about the books. Even if we allowed Movie posts on Main, it
would still mostly be about the books, and I don't think, given your
determination not to read the books, that you'd feel at home there.
And there may be others who prefer the films to the books. For that
reason, I think that we should keep both lists. (And, of course, OT
chatter, where we can discuss anything from puns to Barack Obama's
inaugruation, without even bothering to tie it in with the HP world.

BTW, the books are also entertainment, at least for those of us who
have read and enjoyed them. So are the lists. That's what it's all
about, entertaining ourselves with these discussions (and, sometimes,
exercising our mental muscles with discussions over elements of the
books or films that we interpret differently.

Carol, who likes all the lists and doesn't want to see them merged
