ADMIN: Special Request for Assistance

Hi, everyone--

The elves have received the following request:

"Hello,

My name is Stephen Hill and I am a teacher / student / 
researcher at the Institute of Education, University of 
London. I am interested in online groups and especially 
the participation of people who do not have English as 
their first language in these groups (as well as being a 
Harry Potter fan). I was hoping to talk to some of the 
participants in this group who do not have English as 
their first language. Would this be possible?

My email address is: s.hill at ioe.ac.uk 
( s.hill@ ioe.ac.uk )"

As you all know, we normally ask that these requests go
to our OTC and Announcements groups, however in this
case, as Mr. Hill would particularly like to speak to 
members whose first language is not English, we realized
it would be far more helpful to him if his request were
made here, so we thank you for your indulgence in this.

Please, as with other similar matters, if you would like 
to assist Mr. Hill, make sure to contact him directly, 
rather than reply to this post onlist.

Thanks, everyone!
