Natter 29: If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Istanbul.

It would have to be Everybody Was Feng Shui Fighting.
Either way. I was concerned about the length, but not grievously so.
Not that I have any idea what it may have to do with 29.
Nothing. I'd rather a freestanding thread title than a forced numerical reference.
Even though I suggested a thread title, I think it's too early to start tossing ideas around. (See also, Natter 28, naming of.)

I'm with Teppy. Not till we hit 9800, at least, and that won't happen till Monday, since weekends are slow.

I dunno, we're up to within 50 of that. Maybe 9900?
And I was going to suggest Natter 29: Going on 12...
I dunno, we're up to within 50 of that.
Never underestimate the power of hair.
Maybe 9900?
Sounds all right. I think the speed of the thread is also an issue. It's not how many posts are left, but how long till it will turnover. If there's a TV show or watch-and-post happening, then it makes sense to start a little early because the thread's going to run out faster than normal. But here, I don't think it'll turn over till Monday. Maybe Sunday, depending on the discussion.
There are two episodes of Lost re-airing Saturday night. You think we can't eat up 160 posts in the next 2 days over that?
Well, point. Small. It is a repeat, after all. Though if someone brings up Lost, yeah, trouble. But weekend posting is way lower than weekday posting. If the Lost discussion takes off, then that might be the signal to start throwing out names. But as has been observed before, starting too early only leads to trouble.
You know, you could just burn through the posts having this conversation IN Natter. Since that's where it maybe belongs anyway.
IJS.
*g*
We could propose and entire thread where we just name threads all the time.
