I was for it, but it didn't work in practice. I think there may be a way to make a Buffista book club work, but this wasn't it.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

So, is there a proposal to close it?

I was enthusiastically for it when the idea first came up, but I see it as something we tried that didn't really work out. No harm, no foul. Sometimes ideas just don't pan out.
I'm glad we tried. I'm sorry that it didn't work. I think it's time to move on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There should be no proposals until the current one's done.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
unless of course Tom wants to add that language in to his final proposal for the vote. ijs.

Well, that's not happening here.

Is there a problem with queuing up another proposal for Lightbulbs?

Is there a problem with queuing up another proposal for Lightbulbs?
This came up previously, and I don't remember that it quite got settled. Recently, people have been asked to hold off on a proposal until the current one was done, but I was pretty sure there have been times in the past when we've queued proposals.
I suppose there's the danger of getting an overly bloated queue and forgetting what order votes should happen in, but in general, I would think we could handle it.
What's not to like about queuing proposals?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The difficulty involved in typing the word queue over and over again?

I think you lose your momentum, but it's not my momentum to be lost.
Proposals can run back to back, right? There's no already agreed-upon reason to wait for the vote to be complete first?
I would, but it could be a prima donna, get-out-of-my-spotlight thing. It's not like I have anything urgent to propose, ever. Or, hell, anything period.
