I agree about the HF! Sorry, I think I worded it wrong! What I meant to say was we do discuss other genres too, we are interested in a lot of genres, but HF is our main topic that brought us all together. How they have intoned their message is that we NEVER discussed anything else, IMHO.

Its OK, I dont think anyone will tar and feather you.
If people want to go back I dont think peolple here will get their knickers in a knot. Its all personal choice, ya know

Let's not do that. I can't remember what book it was but the aftermath of tar and feathering was described in great detail and it's not pretty. Anyone is welcome to post at both boards if they wish, at least for me. It's just a tad bit too boring over there at the moment.
