Shahara--

Please don't think you're being ignored; this topic was brought up 
just days after the release of GoF, and has been discussed ad 
infinitum by the group.  You can find some discussion of it on this 
site by searching for "Priori Incantatem."  This will not bring up 
all the discussion, by any means, but it is some.  It was also 
discussed when the group was still on yahoo, but you can find those 
posts in the HPfG's archive site.  There is a darling group of folks 
diligently working on creating a list of FAQs for this group.  A 
daunting task, they've been scouring ~all~ the posts to create 
concise answers and info based on the many recurring threads of 
discussion.  As you might imagine, this is quite time-consuming, so 
just hang in there, you'll soon be able to get the info.  In the 
meantime, you may want to check out Steve's Lexicon site; lots of 
great info there.  Here's the URL:
