It's hiatus now anyway, for bunches of stuff, so the schedule's pretty clear at the moment.

To do a "skip to end" post, navigate to the last post of the w&p (click on that post number or hit "Last"), then copy what's in your address bar. Navigate back to the first of your w&p posts, and paste in that link.

It will look like this: Beverly "Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."" Apr 6, 2007 5:46:58 pm PDT

A skip to end would be great, if you guys don't mind.

And this shouldn't need a proposal and voting and stuff, it's just changing the slug, really, I think.

Dude, that exact statement is how the current brouhaha started.

for reals. ::sigh::

But! A skip to here would be great. I'm fine with the w&p as long as I can skip it and be sure that I'm not missing something new from other shows.

err-- something about this part of your post makes me a little uncomfortable. I am, as I said, happy to put in a skip to here post, but that seems different somehow from going through (and possibly nillying starts and stops) to make sure other people don't miss anything new from other shows.

well, I wasn't saying nillying whatever conversation pops up amidst the w&p. From what I could tell while skipping and skimming, nothing about other shows was talked about during the w&ps, so I don't think I would miss anything by clicking on a skip to here link. which is why I like the idea.

As long as that's the general understanding, it seems like that should work well.

God I don't want to even get into this...

But the whole conversation is kinda making me feel like the w&p - of a show that belongs in Boxed Set - is unwelcome. I get that there are people that don't participate or care, I do.

I don't even know what I want to say here. I am typing and deleting and typing and deleting and ... lather, rinse.

The w&p posts are grouped and nothing tends to happen in the middle. So a quick skim would get most anyone that doesn't care past it within a click or two.

I don't have any particular issue with someone offering to link a "skip to the end" once we're done flailing, but I kinda feel like I shouldn't even be participating in the w&p because it is sticking in craws.

There's the part where I could lobby for the okayness of the dvd w&p while the show is on hiatus (which is the only time we are doing these), and then there is the part where I really don't want to have to fight that battle in the thread where SPN is discussed.

I mean, we talk about lots of shows in here. Some I love, some I watch randomly, and some that aren't my beautiful cake. But this is the thread we've created and I am okay with skipping things that don't grab me.

Cass is me. I think I've typed and deleted about a page worth of posts, because I'm not sure how to say what I want to.

On one hand, I get why people would want to skip over the whole W&P, and I want to facilitate that, but on the other, it kind of feels like we are being thread nannyed at the same time, especially when it comes to asking if it's okay if we do a W&P before we start, and after all, this is the thread where SPN is discussed.

Yeah. This.
