Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was thinking maybe I'd take names and match up people who forgot to do Secret Santa (like me). Does anyone have any objections?
If not, I'll do an announcement in Press.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sophia, I just did that. ooops.
edit: Sophia - since I was already matched, I figured this way none of the unmatched would have to get spoiled.

Reposting from BBaBB because Jesse reminded me that I meant to ask earlier and Jon semeeee (Not sem-eye) stomped on me..

From the FAQ
In order to keep them unspoiled, we limit discussion of current episodes to specific threads. These are the NAFDA threads. If it's not labeled as a NAFDA thread, don't talk about current episodes in it.
Are the NAFDA threads intended to be independant now? Or is, for instance, reference to current Buffy allowed in, say, the current Angel thread? This was raised in Firefly last week, but I didn't see a resolution.

I think it's generally best to watch the references to the most recent episodes. We have people like Matt, who are on tape delay for one show but not the others, or shrift, who's on tape delay for Buffy and Angel, but not Firefly. So if you want to refer to something, maybe whitefont it and warn why?

If I only had a brain...
I have a question about that. We're all dutifully whiting-out a Buffista shout-out that is in no way plot related. It's not a funny line, nobody would notice it if it weren't one of our own. Do we need to be whiting out? Especially since it's mispronounced, so you won't notice it unless you're looking for it?

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert
I kind of like the idea that we keep whiting it out, even though it doesn't really spoil anything, because if we don't white this out, then what's going to happen down the road when somebody else wants to post something without whiting it out, and they say, "you didn't that one time"?
I think we set ourselves down a slippery slope if we start making exceptions to the white-out rules.

In my mind, we were able to discuss what's happening in Buffy in terms of what's happening in Angel, etc, because they *are* the same 'verse. But there should be no mention of Buffy or Angel activities in the Firefly thread, or vice versa.
But that's just my mind! Which is occasionally a wacky and scary place!
