First of all, Neil, as punishment for that horrible pun about 
shipping and waves I am lopping of one or your bunny ears. Now, let 
me add my voice to the clamor for banning shipping discussions to 
another group.  I think the shippers would be much happier in their 
own group, anyway.  They could decorate it anyway they chose, use any 
subject headings they want, spray their various-colored water pistols 
at each other, WITHOUT GETTING THE REST OF US SEASICK.  After they 
are all done dissecting everyones love lives, they could come home to 
HP4GUps main group and rant about the Chapter summaries and the movie 
trailer and whether the Harry Potter frames are cheesy looking or 
not, like us normal HP addicts.

Speaking of Harry Potter frames, I have an empty one here just 
waiting for my photo of Neil in bunny slippers and hairnet like 
Doreen promised me.
