I liked Cindy's wording, in particular, because it didn't say "Come here and argue the point," but did point the way to where such discussion could be going on. I'd be fine with adding that to the message sent, but I don't think any other changes should be made at this stage.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier
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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I've already added a mention of the Bureaucracy thread (using Allyson's suggested wording) to the non-filky etiquette page.

Musical Buffistas 1: "And the music (and who can blame it) swells..."
I'd just drop the first And... so it reads
"The music (and who can blame it) swells..."
ETA: I'm liking the idea of a music thread. Last summer, when I was lurking at WX, the literary thread got me through a book shortage. I went through the posts and found several new books to read, though the only one that comes to mind is Deerskin.
A belated thanks to all for my summer reading last year!

Can I suggest that we change the title slightly to Buffista Music 1? Just so people don't mistake it for a thread about the Musical.

Our wings are not tired.
From the script...
They are moving closer as they sing, interrupting whatever thoughts they were going to finish with a sudden, passionate, kiss. The music (and who can blame it) swells, and we hear a final:

Hello! I must be going.
OK, I feel better! Thanks for all the kind words.
Some things just get under your skin. I mean, my own brother votes Republican. My baby brother! So not an evil person! And--hang onto your Region 3 DVDs--Republicans may lurk HERE AMONG US!!
Not me, but some! You never know! I understand in some parts of the country they're THE MAJORITY! And that's what bugged me about some of the statements over there. Hope y'all understand.
I still can't Natter until I get a job, because a) it takes up too much time, and b) my Nattering would mostly be whining about how nobody will call me back since I sent them job applications.
So, Natter away and enjoy. I'll be watching and posting and bitching and celebrating (the latter in the Firefly thread, God willing). Thanks.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Can we have a thread for people who never want to talk about trolly people with hairy feet and their weird ass invisibility rings?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No.

Of course, please note that the above OMWF quote came from the script mistress Shrift's site! Mwah.
