Bureaucracy 3: Oh, so now you want to be part of the SOLUTION?  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I like that, too.

Have we done a variation on this already?

Natter 35: First rule of Natter 35 is don't talk about Natter 35.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

What Happens in Natter 35 Stays in Natter 35

OK, that gets my vote, even the basic line referenced would work better for a bitches thread.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What Happens in Natter 35 Stays in Natter 35

Oh, yes.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Natter 35: bottles of beer on the wall, 35 bottles of beer...

I vote for this, but "What Happens" is good, too.

What is even happening?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Has anyone ever studied how Natter actually gets named?

Other than the Brookings Institute? No.

Not that I know of, but academics would have a field day with us.

That wasn't an attack. It was an honest question. The answer might be "Bullshit Consensus" or "Frack it, I'm picking one, because it is urgent."

I think I'm asking what "Bullshit Consensus" means. The notion seems important.

Gus, first, apologies for being smart-alecky. No attack presumed.

I think bullshit consensus just kind of spontaneously happens in a "you know it when you see it" kind of way. I'm not sure you can quantify it because, if you have a poll, the consensus is formal and no longer bullshit.
