Err ... J-witch, I'm not a moderator (immoderator maybe?), but I have been
around HP4GU for a while now, and I can hardly say how much I appreciate the
announcement list. It's doing precisely what it's supposed to: providing a
low-volume, quick-read forum in which listers can pick up on the latest
information, articles, urls's, fanfic chapters, action toys and the like.
And they can do it without wading through the 673 posts that piled up during
that weekend out of town ...

So as much as I'd enjoy a riot or two (what sort of nutcase would want to
live in *boring* times?), I'd rather save my  energy for the May 1st parade
...

Baaaaaa!
