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"?

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!

This was me. And I believe the answer is "yes."

I did this. Then had to log out, then log back in, and it worked.

And then in did this to me yesterday, just to make me feel crazy, but then it was fixed.

Sumi is me. [/validation]

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Occasionally I see threads I'm not subscribed to, but as soon as I read some messages, or hit message center again, they're gone. Doesn't bother me at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Remember when I asked about taking the FAQ off geocities? It comes up when I google myself (what? Everybody does it!), and I'd kind of prefer that it not. So can we just take my last name off it? That would be awesome. Thanks.

Hmm just how far does the lack of ridicule go?

For example if someone admired Henry Kissingers and his politics would it be unacceptable to say "Henry Kissinger is a war criminal"?

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

I don't think that would be unacceptable. I *would* find, "Henry Kissinger is a war criminal, you moron, and if you really knew what you were talking about, you'd feel differently," an unacceptable thing to say.

In the former, you're simply expressing your opinion, which happens to be different from someone else's. In the latter, you're denigrating a person for what they believe and insinuating that they're simply ignorant.

Either way--only three of us expressed interest, so I think it's dead in the water.
