I'm sorry. I didn't mean to muddy things. I really thought I saw naked Faith put forward as a proposal.

Actually I wanted to say something that tied into what Wolfram had brought up earlier.

I'm a little apprehensive about this first vote, not that I think it will go badly, but I'm afraid that once we vote and see the system work that there will be this push to vote on other things.

We already have certain things queued up and Wolfram is proposing something else. This isn't a personal attack at you Wolfram.

Yes, there are going to be issues that we have to deal with, but we haven't had our first vote yet, our new system has only been in place for what---less than a week---and already we have a back log of issues to vote on. I think we need to slow down and see how things play out before we start making more issues to be voted on.

I am so sick of seeing things put up for a vote that it isn't even funny. I no longer enjoy visiting Buffistas much. But that's my ish. Clearly Wolfram and others are liking the whole voting thing a lot more than I am.

Actually, we hadn't even gotten the thread created before we had a backlog of issues to deal with.

And if it weren't for that fact, I'd make a new proposal.

You did, and, if I actually thought there would be any possibility of our voting on it would do any good, I'd go all James Carville & Marlee Matilin on it.

OK, I know I'm going to feel dumb when this reference is explained, but, huh?

I think that a lot of stuff is getting proposed now because the system isn't totally clear yet, and most of the stuff getting proposed is to clarify it. I think that once we go through the whole thing once or twice, it'll settle down a bit. (I hope.)

Gandalfe, that's what I'm talking about, granted there were some issues that we did have to deal with.

But I think it turned into "New toy!"

I seriously don't see that we are in such bad shape that we need to be voting on and changing that many things.

We didn't change our voting system because the whole system is broken and yet I feel like that's what's happening, people are acting as if they have to make proposals. Just because we have a new system and can use it doesn't mean we have to.

James Carville and Marlee Matilin are higly paid politcal consultants on the opposite side of the fence, he a knee-jerk liberal from way back and she a right-wing apologist. They're married to each other. Came to prominence, if I recall correctly, during the Bush v. Clinton campaign.

Oh! Mary Matalin! (I was trying to figure out what James Carville had to do with Marlee Matlin, and getting rather confused. Hadn't thought of name similarity there.)
