I got this quote:
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.
Giles, 'Never Kill A Boy On The First Date'
And I know it's not from NKBoTFD. I tried to search MP, but you can't phrase search, and it's too damn difficult. But I know it's not from that ep, because the whole giant demon snake thing was at least Season Three, and a search for the text "giant demon snake" in NKBotFD gave nothing.

You're half-right. There have (sadly) been many a giant demon snake on BtVS. This one appeared in season two's "Reptile Boy."
I agree that threadsuck has a problem in that it's not intuitive, whereas "download" is. But then, I still have no clue what "meara" means when used as a verb.

Goodness. Do mine eyes deceive me, or is there no mention of a meara in the FAQ?
Lyra, a meara (so called after
the
meara, because of her habit of mearaing, and in recognition of some of her prodigious mearas of yore, and hopefully the rest of this explanation will allow you to map all that back onto English) is a catch-up post containing multiple responses to previous posts. So, for instance, if you come back to the Natter thread to find 300 posts have been made in your absence, you go through them all and have responses to six of them, and you put them all into the same post - that post's a meara. And an accomplishment, which is why they deserve their own brand name.
I've bookmarked your post, billytea. I think it would make a perfect addition to the FAQ as written. I'll add it ASAP.
Hee! Sorry about the confusion!
t does tiny little dance of being in FAQ
Edited to move to the appropriate thread.
Allyson - I think you wanted that in Bureaucracy.
