you know what - half of what is on the etiquette page is rules, so we will probably re-vamp the whole thing.
I also think we are going to have some disagreement about what are rules.
also also, it hurst my head looking back to see past discussions on this, I am reading through the ZOE stuff. good lord.
I sort of enjoy the old Z--- stuff. Anyway, I like to name-search myself in sucked threads and marvel at my own wittiness. Perfect ego-boo for when I am feeling shitty.

Agreeance with this. (Who "coined" that word? Was it, like, Linkin Park or somebody?) Anyway, yes, there will be smooshing involved in our new, multi-headed All Up In Everybody's Business mega-document.
Wow. Where should we send the advil, msbelle?
Please, no mega documents. I can't be the only one whose eyes glaze over at doc lengths before they even get started reading, can I?
I can only speak for myself, but my goal will be short and as clear as possible wrt to the documents.
Please, no mega documents
Now see, I was going to do this whole complex of mutually-linked documents, and with Flash and Shockwave and -- okay, not.
Point taken on the brevity-needs. (Although I don't want to lose linky citations, because they are nice ot short-circuit an argument along the lines of "What doofus decided that?") The All Up In Everybody's Business Committee will mark down "Hemingwayesque language" in its goals statement.

No, msbelle, no! Put the archives down and back away slowly.
Ye gads!
I think that ideally, the All Up in Everybody's Business Committee should generate two documents -- Etiquette, which could be long and colorful and fun to read, and Rules, which would be "don't do this, or we smoosh you like bug." Or possibly the names could be vice-versa'ed.
And there should be an FAQ, somewhere.
I prefer the idea of a brief-as-possible combined Etiquette/Rules. We can still link to the long filked etiquette for the fun stuff.
This discussion is reminding me of the "Rules Girls" and reading their crazy posts. Sorry.
