Howdy, all!

Sorry to be late with this, but I'm trying to catch up on the lists. 
I have a couple of quick questions about this ADMIN . . .

I'm confused about a couple of things.  

First, the posting guidelines don't talk about making a "canon point"
at all.  Is that different from the directive in the posting
guidelines that say that the main list is for "book-related discussion
only"?  Does the "canon point" requirement mean you have to be
advocating something (that is, making a point), or is it enough just
to be talking about something related to books?  And does
"book-related discussion only" allow discussion of JKR interviews, or
should those take place on one of the other lists?

Also, I'm confused about whether a post can contain *any* OT material
if it discusses the books.  The posting guidelines and this recent 
ADMIN seem to suggest that a post with OT material should be posted on
OTC only, but I might be reading it wrong.

Sorry to ask these questions, but there have been a lot of changes to
the rules lately, and I'm not sure whether something important flew by me.

Cindy -- who has never received a howler and who is hoping not to
start now!  :-D
