Hi:

I just want to reiterate that the Founders' Message on the homepage is
pretty clear -- our discussions are "in-depth, thought-provoking and fun."

Some of the posts will fall under just plain "fun."

Others will be "thought-provoking," and maybe not include any real "fun."

Others may be "in-depth," and neither "thought-provoking," nor "fun."

Others will be some combination thereof. You get the point.

If you're not happy with a discussion thread, the solution is very
simple. You have several options: (a) ignore (or delete if you have email
option) messages when the subject heading or first few lines leads you
to believe you're not going to enjoy the post, (b) post a new thread that
you hope will kill the one that's making you crazy, or (c) leave the club.

Personally, I'd be happy to never see another "casting" post (I nearly
always delete them). But, that's a topic that some of our members
enjoy. More power to them. Me -- I go for the really analytical insightful
posts regarding the intricacies of the books.

Anything HP-related is fair game on this Board, and I am a very strong
proponent of lively, spirited debates. But, I am not in favor of anyone
attempting to squelch discussions on the grounds that it goes "overboard."

My 2 galleons for the evening --
