Haven't we already, though?
Some of us have and some of us haven't. That's why I qualified it with "personally"--I'm speaking only for myself.
I do think that a nod to the founding premise is a nice idea. I really like Connie's suggestion.
Numfar! Do the dance of joy.

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.

I'm not sure it can get shorter, not seeing any really extraneous words other than "now". I like.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Yay, my DSL is back! And I like the new slug.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I love Jesse's Natter Strategies.
I've been thinking about something but wonder if it is too much hand-holding. Basically for newbies, but along the line of:
I posted in Natter and nobody replied. I feel blinvisble.
Natter (or any board for that matter) can fly by at times. A single post may not catch anybody's eye, particularly if they are Skipping and Skimming (see above). Don't take it personally. Think of it more as merging into traffic on the freeway. You have to get up to speed to join the conversation, often posting several times on the topic at hand. If you're responding to a particular person's post, try addressing them by name as we're all preening little narcissists.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
That's good Hec. I like it, although it typo in "blinvisible".
I mean, OK, it's kind of hearts and flowers-y, except for the truthful narcissism part, but it's a "Read the FAQ!" answer for all the people who might be sad and cry and moan that we have been ignoring her precious posting wisdom.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Only thing is the 'posting several times' thing. Needs to be phrased so that it is not accidentally read as 'posting the same damn thing over and over until we are annoyed into a negative response'.
