  Hi everyone !

  Well we're absolutely delighted to see everyone talking so much 
  about the new book. We're thrilled to see so many new and returning 
  listies here. 

  But we'd just like to take the opportunity to remind you of a few 
  things to bear in mind when you go to share your thoughts on the 
  list.....

  Editing
  Whilst we understand how eager you all are to discuss this book with 
  fellow fans, please remember to edit your posts so we can tell 
  exactly who said what and what you are replying to. 

  By this I mean :
  Be really careful only to include parts of other people's posts if they are really relevant to the point you 
  are making. It's much easier to follow a thread if you  have the gist of what's been said in front of you at the start of a fresh message.  This is best placed at the start of your message

  At the same time, if you have a lot of short points, why not combine them in one post ? With a header like......OOP : Spoiler: Hogwarts/Ministry/Wands, just as an example. This would cut down on the huge number of posts that are bound to be made over the next few weeks.  But don't forget to sign YOUR posts so we know who's saying what !!! But take out anyone else's names unless you are quoting from them directly. It makes it much easier to follow for everyone.

  Spelling and Grammar

  Please be careful to write your posts with correct spelling and
  grammar. This helps those list members whose first language may not be
  English, or who find reading the list difficult for other reasons, to
  understand and be able to participate fully in our discussion.  For
  this reason, messages with slang or with netspeak (such as "4" when
  you mean "for") are likely to be rejectedfor this reason. 

  We're looking forward to hearing from listies all over the world so we 
  can share our different experiences of the book !

  Looking forward to lots of discussion in the coming months, 


  Michelle
  For the admin team
