ADMIN: It's All About the Books

[elfundeb2]

No: HPFGUIDX 81302

Crack!  And lo, a list elf appears, decked out in a maroon pillowcase 
and tottering under a pile of books, which spill out onto the floor.  
 
"It's all about the books," she squeaks, gingerly picking up well-
worn copies of five OOP, GoF, PoA, CoS, PS/SS and two schoolbooks.  
 
This list, that is.  It's about the *Harry Potter* books.
 
When you post only to compliment someone on a great post it's not 
about the books.  It's about the poster.  Posters love compliments, 
but please send them offlist.  (Just click on the truncated email 
address when you view the post in webview.)
 
Likewise, everyone is welcome to splash in Theory Bay, or to quaff a 
few at the Royal George, but please bring your canon with you. 
 
And when the topic of conversation drifts to Diana Wynne Jones, or 
Dickens, or other literature, well, yes, it is about books, but make 
sure the post connects those books to HP, or it's not about *the* 
books.  If a thread is drifting OT, please apparate to our sister 
list, HPFGU-OTChatter -- at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-
OTChatter/ -- where many lively literature discussions take place.
 
****
Clutching her canon, the list elf disapparates as quickly as she 
arrived.
