Sorry, couldn't help myself, I have to share this blast from the 
past: Post 50072 written Jan 18, 2003 by Steve, (Bboy). The thread 
was about the name of Hogwarts and why it was "Witchcraft and 
Wizardry" instead of just "Magic". The general idea was that the 
former sounded better. Here's Steve's reply:

Potioncat who probably should have told Steve she was doing this, but 
didn't.
