[Randy Estes]

Thanks for the compliment.

Lately, I feel like I have wandered into the Oxford
debate team olympic competition.  I do like the wide
range of topics but struggle to see how I could
possibly fit into any of these conversations.

I don't think anyone has to come down to my level, but
once in a while a silly post seems needed.

Perhaps we should start "the old monty python potter
crowd" for old silly people.  And now for something
completely different....

As for HP4GU, I could never keep up with all the
posting rules and my silly filks never seem
appropriate.  I watched my wife get wrapped around the
axle and bonk her head against the pavement many
times.....water under the bridge...

I have quite simple minded theories about Albus
Dumbledore being a very large house elf who gets Dobby
to lead the elves to save the day against Voldemort. 
I still think Voldemort is some kind of word scramble
other than the Tom Riddle one.  Perhaps Immortal
Jackass or something like that.  Anyway...

I do look forward to book number 6 as the gray hairs
creep into my beard...
