Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I thought about that before I posted, and I figured that if you could choose not to reveal your address in your profile, you wouldn't be in the database.

This. And anyway, not being able to find someone is an artefact of the search feature being shut off when we were having server troubles. If we can get search back (which I assume we'd want to test as we get up to speed here), we're golden.

(iirc, those privacy objections were to giving people access to rl names, addresses, phone numbers, and the like -- nobody ever objected to giving out the information that's already in our profiles.)

All of which doesn't mean that a more refined search shouldn't be somewhere on the feature list, but that's a different thing and would take a bit of thinking about features.

Ann, that's a ferret.

iirc, those privacy objections were to giving people access to rl names, addresses, phone numbers, and the like -- nobody ever objected to giving out the information that's already in our profiles.

This is a good line to me. If it's in the profile, we can already access it by clicking on the name. And with a general search function, we could access the profile anyway.

Beyond that, I'd object to anything that goes further than Deena's opt-in project.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In the links page, under "Core Buffista Links," nothing is listed. Is that on purpose?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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

Huh. I'm pretty sure there used to be links there.

There were -- that's my point. Now they're on walkabout.

I looked at the original links page, so I can probably get some of the missing ones back where they belong.

I wonder how the others vanished.

Oh! That reminds me. I was downloading all of the Angel and FF threads the other day and the WX Angel threads #7 & 8 seem to be missing.

You mean in the b.org archives, or at WX? I have threadsucks of everything from WX, I just haven't put them all up yet.
