You know, at first I didn't want a different title, but I love this.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

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.
Meara, you're one of the admins. You can turn that off (I would, but Scola will have to remind me of the admin password (shhh)). Go into Privacy Options/Membership Exposure.

Trust my rage
Meara, how far down was that? I just googled your name and got mostly facebook and friendster stuff. There were no DCistas on the front page at least.

I have zerooooo idea what the admin password is, sadly (edit, never mind, found it in my mail, buried far far down)

Oddly, if you google my name sans quote marks, you find things like my Journal of the American Chemical Society paper and my "rookie of the year" winning (OK, in the GAY MARCHING BAND but still). If you google me WITH quote marks you find Evite invitations from mailing lists to the DC Kings list and DCista list. Since I'm applying for a job at the moment, I just discovered the latter idea, and was rather dismayed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You appear to be pretty popular! Google even has a popular search for you. With over three thousand results.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I too would prefer COMM to just be COMM 2. I dislike the sequential threads that don't have sequential numbers, for archiving reasons. And I also think right hand titles should be short, and we've established a trend of not really renaming most of them. I think.
