It isn't the joss or tim reposting that surprises me, just the thought that someone is lurking-- I have trouble remembering that sometimes.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
On Usenet, the rule of thumb was that 80% of the people reading anything you read were lurkers. Doesn't always work out that way on a web board like this one, but it's a good thing to keep in mind.

I think if Joss ASKS us to repost elsewhere, not to do so would be rather rude. I mean, I"m not going to go seek out places I wouldn't have otherwise (like, I'm not going to go find the URL of the Kitten Board, to post stuff!), but I do know we get crossover, and buffistas visit a lot of places.

Please?
Just a little?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I was hoping for an ENUF filter, myself.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You're a stompy, Ple. Sic him.
I unsubscribed this morning. The problem is that he's obnoxious (and knows it), but is he actually violating our rules? Meanwhile, I'm just ignoring him, and praying for MARCIE.
Maybe we could have a secret Firefly thread hidden somewhere that we could invite everybody but him to.

Here's a thought. There are no new episodes for awhile. Why don't we just all unsubscribe, and let him talk to himself for a couple of days. Maybe he'll take the hint.

Hmmm. There is more than one person in FF I'd ENUF. Perhaps I am cranky. But there are Firefly supporters in that thread who are still on my last nerve with their behavior and off-topic Ohio/Michigan jokes.

I think just ignoring him will work fine. It's not like he's posting a lot.
What's needed to get a filtering feature moving?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'd love to see the one who's doing nothing but trolling be stomped. Not sure what I'd suggest for the Just Plain Idiots.
