Hi --

Just caught up on a bezillion emails posted to this list during my 
absence.  I'm not officially home until tomorrow but I wanted to 
throw out a few things very quickly (before the Ann Arbor Public 
Library kicks me off this computer.  ListMom things to follow --

1.  OPINIONS SHOULD BE CLEARLY STATED: Lori was absolutely correct.  
If you're going to hypothesize or theorize about possible endings or 
what ambiguous points in the books might mean, for gosh darn's sake --
please put "In my opinion, it means . . . " or "I think the following 
is a plausible ending for Book 7" or "Here's what I think will be the 
opening scene for Book 5," etc.  

2.  SUBJECT HEADINGS -- a familiar rant from me but please try to 
remember to keep your subject headings relevant.  Having just waded 
through some 250+ emails from this group, it's a fresh concern for 
me.  

3.  NEWBIES: Sorry that Melanie & I have *still* not gotten together 
a formal intro letter to this group (high on my list of things to do 
when I return).  Anyway . . . please refer to the Netiquette & Club 
Rules section on this group's homepage (link on the egroups homepage 
for this group).  

4.  NEIL -- welcome back, however briefly.  Please join in again 
soon.  <g>  

Ok - being kicked off -- more when I return!

Penny
