Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

I'm presuming flame-free doesn't mean vigorous-disagreement-free

Correct. I just won't stick around in a thread where my beliefs are belittled--I consider that a flame. Disagreed with? Bring it on. *g*

Hey! Do I smell?

You do smell, but I don't think you stink.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You do smell, but I don't think you stink.

On which note, yesterday was Samuel Johnson's birthday. (Ever the advocate of proper English, and an infrequent bather, he once responded to a woman complaining "Sir, you smell" with "No madam, you smell. I stink.")

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sumi, Alibelle says she has to log off and log back on again for her subs changes to show up. Does that work for you?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

shouldn't I get a list of only those threads I'm subscribed to?

I get that thread (and a couple of others I'm not subbed to) showing up on the message center, but when I go through on Read New it skips them. Doesn't bother me to have them there, I can see where other centers of activity are.

Art Crawl!!!

I hadn't subscribed in the first place. . .

Do I just automatically get all threads in "message center"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, Sumi. That is weird. But I'll have to troubleshoot from home.

How about taking all your subs off, accepting those changes, and then resubbing.

Well, it hasn't appeared since - - perhaps the Board hadn't had it's coffee yet?

But I want no A-C Spoilers Tuesday morning!
