In case anyone wasn't sure...

liret just called to inform me that she saw a copy of DH that was accidentally put out early in a bookstore.

It is in the New Haven Train Station, if anyone wants one.

And in case anyone wants to know for sure whether the carpet copy is real,

It is.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that question, because we had so many people who would squib ANYONE who hadn't read the last book yet, even if it was clearly people who couldn't afford the hardback or people who were new fans and found us around the fourth or fifth book. Squibbing someone because of something they'll amend in a couple months when the squibbing is permanent just kind of sucked to me.

I think just asking members not to spoil in voting comments is a better way to go.

As with many things in H_E, it was a question that started out well and then became problematic when we got some of the erm...perhaps a little overzealous members into the community. I don't support its return, but we might end up coming up with some sort of "If you have not yet read Deathly Hallows, please indicate as much at the top of your application and members will refrain from mentioning spoilers in the comments" policy, at least for a while. Although the initial apps we're going to get are actually going to be ones in the queue now - pre DH, so that will give us a little buffer at least. Maybe. I suppose I should probably talk to Noah about this and figure out what we're going to do.

Yeah. I think most of the members right now have gotten way cooler about not sorting people based on weird rules that they make up in their head but I'm sure we can all think of a few whose names I won't mention in a public post :-P

And really I'd probably be depressed if they all went away because then I wouldn't have any more inspiration for my sorting rants! I do love my sorting rants...
