Hi Eggplant, I don't mean here to try and incite any ill-will but I'd
 thought I should mention that it seems to me you may have
misunderstood the nuance of the use of acronym terms which has always
been quite predominant ot this discussion group. ESE!ing the character
you see, it intentionally a little nonsensical, it's tongue in cheek 
humour *mostly* to compare Snape the Villian to DR Doom etc, It
doesn't take on so much a literal meaning as it does a parody of the
poster's enthusiasm and attachment to their own interpretation. 

I thought that considering the number of new members since the release
of HBP and the fact that this particular matter has arisen more than
once in the past week, it would be diplomatic of me to try and make a
general statement for all regarding our acronyms. I certainly don't
speak as a listelf or for them, and I apologise if I have
unjustifiably overstepped the boundaries by doing this, essentially
speaking for myself but with confidence that my understanding of the
issue would be helpful to others.

Of course everyone, most importantly, should make themselves fairly
familiar with the Admin files found here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Admin_Files/

all the files are reader friendly, concise (as possible ;P), and
presented with all the good humouredness that we enjoy about being a
part of this group.
