Carol:
At the risk of being jumped on, I agree with Iggy, whose advice as far
as I can see is completely well-intentioned. If we want to preserve
our group, we should take defensive measures at this critical point. I
don't pretend to be an administrator and have absolutely no authority,
but I hope that I may make a few suggestions for the consideration of
my fellow group members. First, we can delete our own posts if we feel
that something we've said could be used against the group. Second, if
we fear being hit with a virus (as one member apparently was), we can
go off e-mail and read our messages from the site. Third, we can keep
our messages strictly on-topic (the HP books) and avoid subjects that
are likely to light a flame under the group wreckers.

Carol, who is going to take her own advice now and stay on topic
