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.

See, in my head, Wolfram was warned and then became a good poster, but perhaps it was just in thread warning, like bon bon (which I don't remember at all!)
Despite being an annoying sanctimonious blowhard and overall pain in the ass, I never actually got warned for it. Although I did wield the warny stick on Allyson, once, mostly because I was an annoying sanctimonious blowhard and overall pain in the ass. Now I'm just annoying.
OK, that was genuinely weird; I saw a bunch of new posts, checked, and saw my name on a post I didn't make and didn't know about. Now, that's what a call a genuine OMGWTF? moment, first thing in the morning.
I think Perkins and I accidentally got warped through some sort of bizzarroland internet ST:TNG-type wormhole, or something....
Heh. I meant to tell you in email (oops, almost said warned), but this is the first chance I've had to steal a moment since I came in this morning.
(oops, almost said warned)
Nooooooooooo! runs screaming

Now I'm riffing on Monty Python's The Knights who say Ni, only "Warned".
Warned! Warned! Warned!
Oh! Ow! Stop! What is it you want?
We want... a shrubbery!
A what?
Warned! Warned! Warned!
Please, please! No more!
Ok, nevermind... too many asscaps anyway.
You know, I wasn't going to come into Kafka, because that way lies madness, but if I hadn't I would have missed Nutty's riff on svelte and non-mustachioed Teddy Roosevelts, and that would have been very sad.

By the way, I'm not sure, but I suspect the Cheesebutt document needs to be updated. There's some language in there about how we've never consolidated threads (wrong) and maybe a few other historical points which are no longer true.
We are barely 125 posts from needing Natter 41. And a title.
How about, "Almost the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything"?
Hey, this is our last chance to name a thread
The Year of the Penguin.
Nope.
I think it needs to be Natter 41: Why do I click on ita's links?!
