bboy_mn:

If you want to read two really good discussion of the nature of Dark
Magic, try these-

Feb 18, 2003 - Dark Magic and Evil (WAS: Grindelwald and evil)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/52468

Mar 9, 2003 - What Defines Dark Magic?
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/53527

Of course, having no life and way to much time to think, I weigh in
heavily in both threads.

If you are interested in the concept of evil in general, go UP THREAD
on the 'Dark Magic and Evil (WAS: Grindelwald and evil)' post and it
will take you to the 'Grindelwald and Evil' thread.

It's really too bad Yahoo's search capability isn't better, there
really is a lot of good stuff in some of the old discussions. The only
way I can ever find anything is to search for my screenname in
combination with key topic words, even then, I sometimes wade through
hundreds of old post to find the one I want.

Well, like it or not, it's what we have to work with. 

I would suggest to anyone who is new, if you find someone who's
opinions you like or are interested in, try searching for their screen
names and keywords of other subject you are interested in.

Example: you like 'bboy_mn' and his opinions on 'Dark Magic', but are
currently interested in wands then search 'bboy_mn wands'. Of course,
substituting the approriate names and keywords that suit you.

Just a thought.
