I quite agree, melclaros, the formatting is atrocious and I've put a fair amount of effort into 
trying to have my posts to format correctly. I've tried having the box marked "Wrap 
message text" checked and unchecked, I've tried composing in the box and composing in 
Word and pasting into the box. I've tried previewing text, then editing text, and it only 
gets worse. I've tried writing in short lines by manually inserting returns.  I've privately 
sought advice in emails from a couple of experienced posters, and it has all been to no 
avail. I fear it may be because I am on a Mac and use Safari, but I can't figure out why that 
should necessarily be the cause.  I will be most appreciative of any instruction that will 
allow me to get my posts well formated! FWIW, your post comes through with the same 
atrocious formatting on my computer, and I'm sure you didn't intend for it to be that way.

As for the content, I'm with you. If you don't think you're going to like the content, then it 
is often a wise move to simply ignore that post and move to one that will be more 
enjoyable. Had you read on, you might have found that I don't think Snape is a full 
vampire (though I strongly suspect he is related to one), and my speculations are a bit 
different than those I have read on that big group in  the couple of years I have followed it. 
But again, most of us read and contribute because it is fun, and if I'm not providing that 
for you, then I think you made a wise choice to skip over most of my  post.

Hoping I may be able to contribute to your enjoyment in the future,

Lyn
