I had a thought. You have the last four #s and the secret back-of-the-card numbers, right? I could just send you the first 12 numbers. How'd that work?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That looks like ad hoc encryption to me.

Right?!? Woo! Incoming.
If you want, I'll transcribe the numbers two spaces to the left, but that seems more trouble than it's worth.

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

So what do y'all think about adding a feature that lets a user filter out certain posters? I don't have anyone in mind at the moment, but it might come in handy in the future.

I think the MARCIE is something that's on the Future Spec List, IIRC.

I went away for a week and when I came back there were sumlike two thousand posts on whether we should have a bozofilter or not, and I never got to post my incredibly important and persuasive and still-relevant opinion, and I'm now going to take this oppo so if you wanna maybe look them up, to get a sense of the general ideas of the debate, they're in the most recent old Bureaucracy thread at WX, Rob, I think.

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
It's all about the coat
Host, 'Judgement'
Just got that in the RQG. No period at the end of "coat."
Also, "judgment" may be a more patriotic way to spell it.
two thousand posts on whether we should have a bozofilter or not
Starts at [link] I'm linking to these summary posts just for reference, not much about the filter in there.
There are some timely posts in there about whether the Phoenix would become a closed "Buffista Island."
MARCIE was Buffy's "Invisible Girl," and John H discovered it stands for the "Make Antagonistic Respondents Completely Invisible" Extension. We'll have one someday.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It looks like the "Shawn Filter" is up and working too. I knew ita would get that one implemented soon.
