Okay, a suggestion was made in the Literary thread to reopen the Book Club thread for the discussion of Harry Potter Book 7.
Can this occur?

Totally for that.
I'm all for it, since the thread's just sitting there, but when would it be closed again?

Maybe one month after general release, by which time it can be presumed safe to move non-whitefont discussion back into the main Literary thread?
Hey, can I get a ruling on whitefonting HP discussion in general threads? Do we need one? I ask because I'm going to be stuck in Lake Tahoe when the book comes out, with no ability to go get it (stupid symposium), so I'd like whitefont in general threads.
t /it's all about me.
as if that tag ever closes.
Agreed (I also won't be able to start the book until a week after it's released).
I'm good with a month.
I'm willing to consense on this issue (HP7 spoiling in the Zombie Book Club Thread, no whitefont, till 4 weeks after hardcover release in the US), but once we've done so, I advocate that somebody do a linky announce what we've consensed in the Annoucements thread.
Because I would never intuit what we're doing from any of the discussion of it in Literary, and I had to think really hard to come up with that summary above.
I think HP should be white fonted in the general threads for at least one month - which would coincide with the re-closing of the BBC thread.

Nutty speaketh for me.
