"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Question: Will the Buffistas Book Club be reopened for HP discussion? Or should we use Literary? This is a pretty timely issue (like needs to be decided before Friday).

Our wings are not tired.

I have no preference on that question.

(takes a look at post number, may have to name B4 soon)

So far the consensus seems to be in favor of that, LeN.

Will the Buffistas Book Club be reopened for HP discussion?

le nubian, I didn't see anybody raising any objection or stating any reason why it shouldn't, so I assume it will.

[Edit: and now Jen posted what I wanted to say. I seem to be on the same wavelength as people whose first names start with J and end with n. Maybe I should re-name myself Jillyn for the rest of the day]
