ADMIN: Prediction Derby -- Take Responses to OT-Chatter or Offlist

[Penny & Bryce]

Hi --

While I think Laura's prediction derby for OoP (not OoF by the way) 
sounds fun, it also sounds like something that will exponentially add to 
message volume.

May I suggest that people send responses to this Prediction Derby 
off-list to Laura, who can collate them and then perhaps post one final 
document to the Files area for everyone to take a look at?  Or, if Laura 
is interested, perhaps she could coordinate a contest of sorts with 
Joywitch, Maestro of HP4GU Contests (although the results wouldn't be 
known until after OoP comes out)?

We generally try to avoid people running "contests" on the main list for 
a variety of reasons, namely message volume concerns. Joy, our official 
contest planner, also has a number of contest ideas in development at 
any one time, and so we encourage people with contest ideas to 
coordinate with her (joym999 at aol.com).

P.S.  I can't believe you didn't include a prediction on the romance 
pairings at the end of OoP as one of the points.  <eg>

Thanks --

Penny
