I wrote the description, and it's a thread dedicated to his work.
Okies. Why I asked.
Also?
I can't see braking it working.
This is true.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

A post only occupies a point in time. A point in time has no duration. We are not lurkers in the time that a post happens, but since a post has no duration, we are all lurkers, all the time.
Duuuuude ...
Titlewise, the first thing I thought of was 'Why can't I stay', gunning for the maudlin. I quite like the other too, and given it's emerging role as the Great Consensus Maker, don't want to mess with it for fear of it's eerie power.

I would only hope it could be "are we done" rather than "am I done". Thread titles ought to have plural personal pronouns if they have any at all, IMHO.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I, on the other hand, prefer a direct quote.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
"Am I done, now" being a shout-out to Doyle's last line is rather poignant. It kinda stops working, if it is not a quote.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm loving the Doyle quote.

What is even happening?

But we aren't done. The Buffistas aren't done. The Buffistas won't even be done with Angel once Angel is done.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just caught up on the user filter discussion in BaBB and wanted to broach the discussion to the board at large.
As an extension of what is already the culture on the board, I guess I'd just want to encourage people to be discreet about using the filter.
In short, don't make a point of announcing "That's it! Fuck you psycho crackpot! You're on my filter" and flouncing off. In short, the first rule of filtering is don't talk about who you're filtering.
I think that's basic politeness and consistent with our culture, and probably the norm on better boards everywhere. But the user filter will affect things here and I just thought I'd raise the notion.
