I'd rather not jump order unless there's some reason something needs to be done sooner.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Can you link to the seconds? I am not sure it got the number.
It didn't and I didn't want to re-propose it. I was hoping someone else would so I can stop being proposal-monkey-boy. I figured since we have this lull, we could shtup another quick vote in and not put all the pressure on Anne to compile the list.
But if people want the break, I'm in no rush.

I do apologize for the delay. It's a bit tricky trying to sort through the different posts for topics, as topics intermingle, break off, start up again, change shape, and so on. It's a bit like herding cats. Teleporting, time-traveling cats.
Reading through 8,000 Bureaucracy posts in one go is quite the experience.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
One big Point Break thread and nothing else. That would have been funny.
HAW! But let me tell you, smonster's I volunteered at the Colossal Colon (aka CoCo) already had my April Fool sense buzzing like a spoily pager by the time I got to Kristen's.

Any chance we can get the multi-ballot question into discussion while we wait on Anne's list?
Wolfram, do you mean not multi-ballot, but questions that have more than two answers, in other words, questions for which we might need to hold a run-off, or use the preferential method to count?

Have we decided on a thread name for Bureaucracy II?
