I prefer the archeological model. It's not like you run around Harvard changing all the stone-carved "V" letters into their rounder "U" selves.

oh oh oh, I meant to say earlier. While I can see why one would not change the building letters, I am positive that Harvard no longer describes itself as a small school for boys to be educated in the classics and Puritan traditions and beliefs.

I guess it depends on whether you see our description as an historical landmark like a stone carved building name, or a marketing description in a pamphlet.

I don't feel I've been around long enough to have too much of a say with something as central as that.

Ditto. But if I were, I'd love to see an open-ended statement like "discussions of BtVS, Angel, Firefly, and their bastard step-cousins, with humor, etc."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I think we are a community dedicated to birdcalls, homemade cardboard, turnip twaddlers, and putting yarn into a salad shooter and getting back a sweater.

...yes, we really have talked about all of these topics, and they were only the ones that we were talking about to avoid talking about something else. Not even all of them on natter!

...no, I don't have a strong opinion either way, but how often do I get to type "turnip twaddlers" with impunity??

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Or even without impunity?

or even without impunity

I am not a big fan of being punished, although I know lots of people on this site may be. So, I tend to do things with impunity, i.e. unpunished.

[edit: that important "not" is always missing, isn't it??]

so it would be without punity, then?

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

What are we talking about and who should I agree with?
