Hi Jeanine.
I agree age is not an issue in the HP community in general. As a fan writer I correspond by PM's with writers of all ages right around the world and be they young or old almost all have strong and positive views and interesting ideas and insights to contribute. But in our 'muggle world' some people still seem to look at you askance, assuming you're a bit weird for liking Jo's stories. Never mind though, it's their loss! :o)

Internet groups such as this tend to be international and cluster around a shared interest and (almost)common language, not shared geography. As I said earlier and also in my separate 'intro post', I refuse to bow to the tyranny of US English spell checker software and don't give a damn how many red lines they want to place under my perfectly good UK spellings! :o) A stubborn old git, that's me. :o)

Many Blessings.
John, (Oriondruid).
