And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A sieve is one of those things that stuff falls through.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Failing to Doblerize makes Joe lie. And cry.

Sorry. Been looking at too many meta-fandom icons.

backs away slowly

ETA: I think it should go in the FAQ as well. See? Post not totally useless. :)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think we need to add "Doblerize" to the FAQ.

I think so too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Nutty-- I would love some help. I am probably going to get a draft together late tonight after fittings.

Noumenon has Nillied the voting results, which makes things a lot easier.

Question: When new people register, do we tell them to read Press? Because I think we should, if not automatically subscribe them.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I do believe that it is appropriate to handle the procedural question first in any case, but that's not why it got precedence.

Generally speaking, procedural questions should be handled first.

As for why the war thread is coming back up, I think that it's a combination of a few things:

A) It was one of the last major decisions made, so it's still fresh.
B) Circumstances have changed. Originally it was positied as a having a war thread now IN CASE IT BREAKS OUT, and then changed to more of having a war thread IF a war breaks out. Big difference.
C) We're all pretty raw from the very topic of the conversation.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I will add Doblerize to the FAQ ASAP. I will also happily htmlify the page of voting rules if someone writes it up.
