I don't think the FAQ is going to help.
Shit. *I* glaze over when I read the FAQ. Too. Much. Information.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I read the FAQ to see if I can point people to it. It's far passed the point where I expect people to read it all and retain it, much less remember that something's even a question.

Maybe we should have a short FAQ and a full FAQ?

Hm. That's fair. So you mean, when someone does something wrong (like post about tonight's Angel in Natter), you can say, "hey you! Don't do that! See? It's in the FAQ!"?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I asked Tim a similar question. However, I must point out that asking if someone, especially the former head honcho, has seen the show is not the same as discussing the episode.
If so, that's pretty restrictive. It's along the lines of "You can't even mention that any NAFDA show exists."
Now saying "Tim, if you've seen the episode, give us your thoughts" would be begging for info a little more blatently.
Although in retrospect, I suppose, "Tim, have you've seen the episode of Angel that was on tonight? I know we can't discuss it here, but I was just curious" would forestall stompy admonition.

FWIW, the real reason I stopped by here is to ask if we have some sort of cookie expiration set into the system. I had to log in this morning.
No big deal, just curious.

I can't even.

Yeah. Is a yes or no answer really what is being asked for in that question? Tim's spicy thoughts about the ep would be great, but in his own thread he would have to be stomped.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've been having that problem on my home computer for a few months now. Though strangely, not on my work computer.

Actually, when I asked it, it was a "wonder if Tim has seen?".
If he would have responded right away, I would probably have said something about hopping over to the Angel thread and responding with his reaction.
But yeah, curiousity is me.
