What Anne Said, although I'd note that really obvious trolls could be identified by acclamation, without the waiting period.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Leftover steak:
I would suggest that a "Robert's Rules of Order" procedure be used to bring something up for discussion/voting. Let's say that someone suggests a Connor is HOTT! thread. If (arbitrary number) Buffistas say that they'd be interested, the topic moves on to discussion. Then, if after discussion, (arbitrary number) Buffistas are still interested in bringing it to a vote, it is brought up for a vote.

That is what I am thinking, too.
Of course, there are, like 7 of us here right now!
Should I post something in Press saying that we are talking?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This sounds good to me.

I like it.
We definitely should not consider anything decided until at least this time tomorrow, to give everyone a chance to weigh in.

I would like to request that the (A.N.) be fairly small (say, 5), and that we always vote even if the conclusion is pretty much foregone. I think to do otherwise leaves us open to the charge that the people who talk loudest and last have made the choice.

For the ignorant among us, who is this Robert, and what are his Rules?

Roberts Rules are how formal commitee meetings are run.
Some on proposes, it is seconded and thirded, then the motion is put up for vote.
