So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

V. It's not letting me... don't know why, exactly.

You have the thing open? Could it be two people trying to create a thread at once?

Let me try...

It applied to the fact that Kafka, even pre-vote vote, was mainly frequented by a smallish number of people

I apologise.

I have got two different things mixed up, it seems.

Anyway.

saying "Hey! Consensus!" among that small number, with regards to the way we were thinking about doing something, was just as false a consensus

but what we consensed on doing was asking everyone what they thought. How could that possibly be considered the same kind of, let's say, "fake consensus" as the other kind?

Nope. Won't work for me either. It submits, but doesn't show up in the list.

Thread-build needed? What's up?


John H - Mar 12, 2003 9:48:44 pm PST #7378 of 10001

I think someone needs to talk to ita.

Time frames here. My issue at the time was that using pref. voting "just the once", which was the issue at hand at the time for forming the proposal would weigh things in favor it becoming the standard. Just like I honestly think having a vote on voting ends up being a "well, of course we can vote, we're voting now!" issue.

We think it might be that Victor was in the middle of it and maybe only one person can do it at a time?

Trying now.

OK, it exists -- I just posted in it. John H "X-treme Natter! We're trying this at home!" Mar 12, 2003 11:50:08 pm EST -- so it's just not showing up anywhere? Weird.

Edit because I posted the wrong link the first time.
