"Hey, Cranky, what's up?"

"Master, they is not going by the rules."

"What? How's that? Speak up, Cranky."

"When theorizing about relationships in the Harry Potter books,
people are supposed to include "SHIP" in the subject line. That is
the way it is, right master?"

"Yes, of course. It's in our rules at... at... uh, Cranky, where's it
at?"

"The rules is linked prominently on the home page sir, at
http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/Posting_Rules_14June2005.html"

"Right, so, tell them on the list. Send one of those thingies,
those... uh... one of those..."

"ADMIN, is master trying to say?"

"Yes! One of those. Send an ADMIN to the list."

"And should Cranky say that the relationship is one of those that
provokes such a strong reaction certain people run screaming at the
sight of them, pull out their hair, knock other people's hats off or
perform horrible curses on them, while others can't get enough?"

"Yes, by all means, Cranky."

"As a courtesy to other readers, please use the prefix SHIP for Canon-
supported speculation about romantic relationSHIPs between the
characters. This is what Cranky will say."

"Oh, well done, Cranky."

"Master is too... master is too... uh... too..."

"Kind? are you thinking, Cranky?"

"Oh, yes, right, sir. Master is too kind."
