Hi --

I am breaking housekeeping rule # 1 by mainly writing to say that I
agree completely with Joywitch's thoughts on off-topic posts.  Most of
us would be indulgently forgiving of off-topic posts if this were a
group with low or moderate activity.  It is not.  It is very very
active, and many of us are fighting to keep up (although today's been
rather slow I must say).

Joy's examples are great.  The main thing to do is use good judgment.
Does your post relate in some way to HP (preferably a reasonably
relevant relation can be made to the books or the movie or the
merchandise or other recommended reading or fanfic)?  If it's a stretch
at best, I'd prefer you err on the side of not sharing it with us.
Again, when things are only moderately on topic -- please don't veer
wildly off-topic with your response (Joy's example of the McCarthy posts
is a good one.  Lori's original question was perfectly fine -- several
of the responses toed the line at best).

Thanks!!

Penny
