I think someone needs to talk to ita.

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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Guys, for the record and because DXM isn't here, it was very clear in the original post that Ed was talking about stats for the whole thread, from the very first way before voting became a discussion topic, to end [at the time], of Bureaucracy. (And for that matter, as a point of interest, not a point of gripe and/or accusation.) His original stats and John H's stats aren't the same stats, not least because DXM has been away for probably 70% of this most recent discussion as John H quantified it.
Damn, I hate walking into the middle of conversations like this where I don't have a frelling clue as to what is going on. And it's late, so I'm not even going to get a chance to go back the 400 posts I just skipped over to find out why there was no natter thread until tomorrow morning. Maybe. At least I know where that is now. Thanks, John.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Sorry. Did have it open. Didn't know it made a difference.

I didn't mean to step on your toes as a statistician, DX.
My position is more like making a Specialist Subject of this rather strange and strained period in our history.

You never have, John. You've been doing it longer than I have, anyway. I'm being perfectly truthful in that I have no idea what y'all are talking about. I was just randomly clicking to the end of the thread to see about natter, and Nutty's post mentioning me was what popped up, and it was disconcerting is all. I'll catch up tomorrow I guess.
