Hi all!

There is not a set limit on the number of posts per day.  Rather, we ask 
people to avoid multiple short posts that could easily be combined into one. 
  Please do not feel the need to refrain from posting because you have 
already posted that day, or to pad out a message that really requires only 
one line.

As the Netiquette advises:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our message volume is sometimes very high, so one-line posts can push the 
numbers through the roof.  Please take a moment to think about the following 
guidelines:-

   -- Consider expanding on your point. For example, if you are posing a 
question about the HP books ("What about so-and-so?"), could you add some 
thoughts of your own to lead off any discussion?

   -- Consider combining your shorter points/responses with a few others in 
a multi-topic post, making sure the topic line indicates this. However, if 
your point is substantive (or just plain lengthy)   it is best to give it 
space on its own to make the thread easier to follow.

   -- Try to avoid "me too!" and "LOL!" posts that have absolutely no other 
content.

Sometimes a brief response is perfectly acceptable; for example, if you are 
correcting an error someone has made and do not have much else to say (e.g.  
"You cannot apparate into Hogwarts!") or giving information that you don't 
want to bury in another message ("The link to that article about 
Dumbledore's socks is at http://www.anyoldwebsite.com").

A tremendous amount of thought went into choosing a
title for this book.  My personal choice, designed to
appeal to the book-buying impulses of today's consumer,
was Tuesdays with Harry Potter.
