I'll try to stay away from your wheaties.

Sorry about that post. I'm personally very open about my political views and didn't think it thru how in a large community some would see it as me trying to be a jerk. I now understand how it can be seen as being disrespectful to the executive producers.

When debating politics with a really smart engineer at work, I like the fact that he points out fallacies in my voting and positions, and challenges me to reconsider; but then, we're talking to each other and not about someone else on a Internet message board.

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

No worries, Jack, really.

I now understand how it can be seen as being disrespectful to the executive producers.

That's not the ping, not for me, so much. The ping was that Tim's a Buffista, yeah? Producer second.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is a very nice response. Thank you.

This was my only qualm. Jack, I think you handled it well. Thanks

ita, am signed up for new DCistas list, but though it shows me listed as an admin, did not get any password. Please to send, thanks?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Insent.

Regarding the localistas mailing lists, I believe that Java cat is the administrator for the Bay Area list on Yahoo groups. Sorry if this is a duplicate and I missed it.

Jesse, I vaguely recall you did some stuff for donations back when. What's the board "organization"? Non-profit? For-profit? Just a bunch of yokels?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just a bunch of yokels. I would describe it as an informal social club.

OK, I wasn't sure and the cookbook thing made me curious.
