Goodbye!

Dear Everyone,

The time has come for me to say goodbye to the group. I will have no
choice but to unsubscribe. This is such a vibrant, high volume list, that
it has simply become a pressure to keep afloat. This Friday I printed out
digests #1319-1336, from last Friday to this Thursday, and it took me
hours to read them. I guess I am not such an HP enthusiast anymore, as I
started finding some of the topics repititious and all... There are many
other interests in my life taking up my time, and it's getting impossible
to remain part of the group. I guess I wil rebuscribe again when book #5
will be published. I really enjoyed my time here. HP4GU also taught me
how yahoogroups are run, and I was able to establish one of my own. It
does not have 2300+ members, only 30, but it is taking up most of my time
and therefore some of the others I belong to, have to go...

I will leave you all with two comments on those 15 digests I consumed
over Shabbos:

1. Rita Skeeter the beetle -- how was she always able to find the targets
she was looking for to eavesdrop on? IMHO, it can take a beetle several
hours to inch its way towards its destination! For instance, when
Hermione picked her up from the windowsill of the hospital wing, didn't
it take Rita all day to inch her way across the Hogwarts grounds and up
the walls? Or did she come to Hogwarts as herself and transform on
grounds?

2. Salazar leaving no heirs aside from Voldy -- I find it a bit
preposterous that someone who lived 500 years ago should have only one
last remaining heir! Did Salazar have an only child who also had an only
child, and so on and so forth all the way to Tom Jr.? Or did all of his
descendants die childless? Most of the time a person living 500 years ago
has descendants left and right and the family tree is hard to
establish... Beats me.

I firmly believe that Dumbledore is Harry's great-grandfather, and he
doesn't know it. Dumbledore probably had a daughter, the mother of Lily
and Petunia. Petunia is at odds with Dumbledore and the magical side of
the family, therefore she refused to acknowledge the presence of magic in
the world, and has no choice but let Harry attend the academy. Of course
Dumbledore wants Harry to be at the Dursleys; it's his only other living
descendant...

Anyhow, I will wait until the next digest so I can see the replies to my
message, and after that, adios, my friends, l'hitraot -- I might come
back when the movie comes out. We'll see... it's been fun.

Yours,

MINDY
