Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yes, please.
And not just because the initials are COMMA.

Would this mean that posts would be comma-ed?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
More to the point, would it mean that COMM3 would be Serial Comma? Because in that case, we might as well start discussing it now; the thread's only gonna last five years or so.

It means we can have a lovely long discussion about what's the grammatically correct way to verb the COMM-in-the-new-version, including as many serial COMMAs as possible, and I've missed those t /Natter

You know, at first I didn't want a different title, but I love this.

Er, question--I discover upon googling that it looks like all the dcistas emails are...publicly searchable?
Is this so? Can we...not have that?
Cause I'm not liking that.
Currently if you google my (full real) name, you get a link to the dcista archives, because once upon a time several years ago I sent an evite to the DCista list, and that had my real name in it. I'd prefer my full real name NOT be linkable to b.org, easily. I've tried to not have that be so (ie, my facebook page DOES have my real name, but is friends-only, etc). To have the whole archives of every email up for public searching seems....not what we intended. Please someone reassure me it is only letting me click through because I am logged in to b.org or something??

That reminds me, I think I may still be on that list, and maybe even the NY one too. If so, I should be taken off both. One day I will return to do an East Coast tour, but, sadly, not in the near future.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
