Greetings from Hexquarters! The the list has now reopened to
posting.

Before you post, if you haven't looked at our posting rules lately, 
we strongly recommend that you take a refresher course, as we *will* 
be enforcing them! The rules are here:

http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/Posting_Rules_14June2005.html

And for those who are truly in a mad rush to post, here's a handy
Posting Rules Cheat Sheet:

1. Observe Posting Limits. We are expecting record numbers of posts
in the first few days following HBP release. We are asking members
to try to limit their posts to three per day. Don't be a list hog. 
Excessive posting will be considered a violation of list rules, and 
your post may be deleted.

2. Combining. If you're responding to multiple posts on the same
topic, please combine them. If you combine effectively, you won't
have a problem with the posting limits.

3. Make a Canon Point. Please don't post unless you have a canon
point to add to the discussion (i.e., one that has not already been 
stated, and please don't post just to reiterate your point). You can 
use Yahoo's search function, which is adequate to find out whether
something has been posted in the last few days. We are a diverse
group, and we're not going to agree on everything.

4. No One-liners. They have been banned. It's a rare point that can
be made effectively in a single sentence.

5. Snipping and Attribution. Please snip long quotes down to the
minimum amount necessary so a reader will understand what you're
talking about. Make sure you credit quotes to the right poster.


Happy Posting!
