The vote was closed on the night between shabbat and Sunday in Israel, so I figured I'd post the results (I've never posted anything like "No 0" before) on Sunday-morning, my timezone (a bit after the closing of the vote, indeed, but only by a couple of hours).
However, face-space life intervened, and all computer time was abandoned until pretty much right now.
I deeply apologize for the delay.
[Edit: I was awaken Sunday morning by a phone call from a friend going into labor. She's a very dear friend, and is in the middle of getting a divorce, so she didn't want her husband there with her in the delivery room, and she deeply needed some emotional support. So I just had to jump and rush to her side. She had a boy. I didn't have to be there for the most difficult - physically - parts, since a more professional support arrived by then (a dula? I have no idea how to write this in English), and I could run to work.]

What is even happening?
Nilly, I can't imagine having a better person present for support. If the person helped her deliver the child, she was probably a midwife. If she helped her after, she was probably a doula. Congrats to you friend on the birth of her son.

Doula! That's how you spell it! Thanks!
(She was with her inside the delivery room, for the last real-hard part, on top of all the medical personnel. So it's a sort of a combination of your options.)
And thank you for your lovely words.
And I'll stop the bureau Natter now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The F2F thread sub-title (sub-heading?) needs to be updated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To what?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I think DCP means changing:
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon 2009: June 19-21, Seattle at the Hotel Monaco (www.monaco-seattle.com).
to something like:
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon 2010: June 25-27,in Providence, Rhode Island, at the Hampton Inn (hamptoninn.hilton.com).
Or a variation therof.

I need to know precisely what to change it to, since I'm not following the discussion. Is that it?

DCJensen's suggested text is fine. The link for the hotel is: hamptoninn.hilton.com/en/hp/hotels/index.jhtml?ctyhocn=PVDWYHX

Done.
