Susan, you and I were on the same wavelength anyway.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Lyra put up a list of shows, and asked people to add to it, if there was something missing, late last week, Wolfram. What is missing? Can you write it in?
I guess I missed that, my bad. But I'm still not sure what the deal with only 3 shows is. I tried to write in a category of F/X shows (The Shield, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me, Thief etc.) kinda like a block thread, but because I had already voted for 24, Alias, and Lost, I couldn't even do that.

What is even happening?
Susan, I voted for two I watch, and one I think deserves a thread. I don't think that's a problem. This isn't going to open any threads. It's just to see what people think.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
A technical question, unrelated to this subject (voting).
For some reason, b.org seems to have erased or forgotten my cookie. Any idea how I go about getting it back in place?

The three show maximum was Lyra Jane's call. You can write in shows, but you can't pick more than 3 shows (total from the list and write-ins).

Yeah, I understand the list isn't perfect. I felt like I gave people time to suggest more shows to include, plus there is write-in space.
Three is because it seemed like that was the largest number people would be remotely comfortable with adding at one time, and because no one seemed to object to the idea overmuch. I'm sorry if the feeling is I didn't solicit enough feedback on the poll -- it seemed to me like not many people were commenting in Lightbulb, so I just went with my draft.
And as for how to vote --there's only one on the list I would actually lobby for a thread for based on my personal taste, so my other two picks will be based on what seems to get a lot of discussion. Again, this is nonbinding, so we'll have time to talk about the results before we do anything.

Lyra Jane, when I have the results, which may not be until late on Thursday night, do you want me to send them to you, or just post them myself?

Please send them to me Lee, thanks. I'll post them Friday.

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
I want to use a couple of posts (Tim's and Joss' Firefly cancellation posts) in an essay about the Firefly campaign.
Have we ever hammered out a policy on quoting from the board? Proper citation?
