ADMIN: Moving topics from one list to another (Snape in the Godric Hollow)

This isn't *exactly* an Admin, per se, but I wanted to comment and 
clarify something that Twoflower2 mentions below, and I think many 
list members might have conflicting ideas about this.

Twoflower2 said:
>> This topic has been extensively discussed both at this board and HP
Movie. I snipped the part of a Movie thread message (to the Mods: it
refers to the books, so don't shoot me, let me post it). >>

Heh, no shooting going on here!  Actually, what you've done is not 
only allowable and acceptable, but greatly, strongly, highly 
encouraged!  <g>

To explain a bit to our newer members who may not be aware, HPfGU has 
four main groups:

The "main list", this one, for discussing the books
The Movie list, for discussing the movies
The Announcements list, for notices of events, new groups, websites, 
TV specials, articles and interviews, fic updates, etc.
And the OT-Chatter list, for just about anything else <g>  (This is 
our "off topic" group.)

What Twoflower2 has done was take part of a discussion that was 
happening on the Movie list that actually has some very canon-based 
(book-based) comments and brought it over here for discussion by this 
group.  And, might I add, she did an absolutely *flawless* job of it, 
too!

This happens all the time, though many may not be aware of it.  
Discussions that begin here but start to drift into an off-topic 
direction get "moved" to the OT-Chatter list and continued over 
there.  Discussions that start here and go in a Movie-based direction 
get moved to Movie and continued there.  Discussions on OT-Chatter or 
Movie that end up coming back in a canon direction get brought back 
over here.

This allows for anyone who wants to follow those discussions to do so 
in the appropriate group, thus making sure that anyone who *only* 
wants to discuss HP canon can do so here without having to skip 
around to find it, or delete bunches of messages that are movie or 
off-topic, or scroll through long digests looking for the canon 
discussion.

Here are the links to the other groups, should anyone like to join:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Movie/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPfGU-Announcements/

I hope I've explained it well enough; if anyone has any questions or 
comments or suggestions, we'd love to hear them!  Just send to us at 
HPforGrownups-owner@ yahoogroups.com

Thanks everyone!
