You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

If there is, I've never seen it.

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

Well, they do say timing is everything.
Timing... periodic... get it? You see, it's the periodic table and--
Um. Yeah. Shutting up now.

Sometimes periodic humor can be sodium, and make us all sulfur.

Wolfram, dude, you're writing your posts in some word-processing program that automatically replaces all the quotation marks or apostrophes you type (", ') with the special-character "smart quotes", which curl around the word instead of being straight.
Thanks for the explanation Rebecca. Unfortunately, I only compose in the handy box, or wordperfect and this time it's in the handy box. Let me know if I'm being curly.
On another matter, discussion on moratorium ends today, and did we decide whether that moves the next issue to discussion right away, or do we have to wait until after the vote?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think it would be confusing to have the thread open and not be able to talk about the current vote. I think we have to get an issue through completely before we get another one through. And it should take some of the voteing, voting, voting stuff away...

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
I don't see any reason to wait - though we do need to get cracking on getting our question formulated.
We could close the thread and reopen in the morning (or at noon?) if we wanted to give everyone a breather and make it clear that we're on to new stuff. But I wouldn't wait until the voting is through.

I agree with Brenda. I want to get this process stuff over with ASAP.

Or wait one full day for voting, since most of the votes come in the first day. Any discussion on the previous vote could be discouraged in the discussion thread.
