the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I think the joke of the line is its lack of inclusiveness, since many of us are women (but have large penises anyway).

Yup.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK. I'll withdraw the comment.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I like the funny of the assumption that the size of my penis needs enlarging.

Ditto.

(I was going to clarify that "ditto" but I think I'll let it stand on its own)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

While we may occasionally mention Buffy or Buffista-related goods, please don't spam us. Thanks. Besides, we all have large penises already.

Going back a bit, I would suggest adding "Spam will be deleted" to this bit. Maybe:

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

What about 'is likely to be deleted'? That way we leave ourselves the room for our discretion so it's clear that the community is deciding what's spam and what's not. It's might be hard to tell for some people, because we do promote (our own) products from time to time.

Natter is discouraged in this thread too, but not deleted.

Thanks, Sue. The original bullet did include bureau, and I took it out.

Maybe edit it to:

*We talk a lot. Most of our ramblings are in the Natter threads, but almost any thread is fair game. However, chat is discouraged in all administrative threads, including Bureaucracy, Buffistas Building a Better Board, and Lightbulb. Natter posted in Sunnydale Press, our general announcements thread, and Apocalypse, our personal announcements thread, will be deleted.

I think the joke of the line is its lack of inclusiveness, since many of us are women (but have large penises anyway).

Yep, that was the intended joke. I'm sure breast enlargement spam exists, but it's not nearly as common.

Either version of the spam deletion notice works for me, but I agree that "is likely to be"'s wiggle factor might be a good thing.

"Is likely to" sounds good to me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Looks like she fixed it.
