Lyra, you may not have known that our Stompies pretty much were elected in a we-want-someone-for-each-timezone-so-new-Natters-can-always-be-created moment. They didn't volunteer as people who were in any way special or above the rest of us.

(Or something. I'm kind of mentally fuzzy right now. Right on, cold medicine!)

Monday, decide how to make decisions. Check.

and numbah!

I'm so completely against that it make me mad just thinking about it.

I just get giddy anticipating the amount of discussion it would take to actually pick who would be the Budmen, or Budpersons, and then the further discussion it would take in order to decide their duties.

We all would have carpal tunnel before we finished.

Let me guess...Cari is our newest registered user.

Something to put on the agenda, after we write the Buffistian Rules of Order, is to figure out how we feel about posts from unfamiliar posters and what our definition of unfamiliar might be.

Posts from unfamiliar posters, or announcements from unfamiliar posters?

As far as I can tell, it's well within the boundaries of a Sunnydale Press announcement, and hell, putting it there means the poster was paying attention to what goes where. Cari could have been lurking since TT, for all we know.

I did appreciate the repeated plea not to respond on-thread. And it's a reasonable enough thing to suppose we'd have interest in.

IJS.

I didn't think they were chosen as being "above the rest of us" or whatever, but I did think they were basially the people who had built the site (which does make them gods and goddesses, of course). Thanks for explaining the reasoning.

For those of you waiting with baited breath to discuss "how we make decision":

I am planning on posting my summary of the idea on WX closer to work time for the Pacific zones.

I was thinking about waiting to post the list I created from our discussion of all the different issues/changes until after we decide this, because I think that will just encourage us to talk about that rather than the matter at hand.

I also think there are things we can just strike off that list due to lack of interest, but I just don't want to do on my own. On the other hand, some of those things (whuffie) seem to generate very strong reactions, so if we aren't thinking of doing them, I'd rather not discuss.

Input or objections? (if I don't respond it is because I am on my way to work.

Also, if we want to put this off longer, I don't care personally. I just volunteered to become keeper of a logical list-- I don't want to force anyone into anything!

Thanks, Sophia.

That's all the input I have for the meantime, since I'm not caught up yet.
