Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

From what I remember of Deena's lists, that's what it was, Connie. More "I like this genre of fiction" or "I prefer silver to gold", than "I want this book" or "that pair of earrings".

I never throw anything away - when I get to my computer tonight, I can see whether I might still have any of those old questionnaires.

BTW, if people want to re-fill out questionnaires, if we can find a copy, I'm willing to be the Keeper of the List.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That would be so great! That was an excellent reference.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Earlier today I had found the old list and updated it - adding a couple new questions and removing some outdated ones.

Connie, my thought had been to keep this with the address list that msbelle and I maintain. Not merging them, just keeping them in the same place. If you would like to be a maintainer, we can certainly add you.

Buffista name:
Real name:
E-mail address:
Mailing address:
Telephone number if you want it included:
Birthday (no need to include year if you'd rather not):
Top 10 under 10 pick-me-up list (In case you need a smile, what would make you happiest? Postcards; a new pen, refrigerator magnets, a keychain?...)
Anniversary and type (buffistaversary, marriage, moved in together, coming out, conversion to X):
Name(s) of significant other(s), if applicable:
Name(s) and ages of child(ren), if applicable:
Pet name(s) and type, if applicable:

I'll be happy to be a maintainer.

So, do we send our completed questionnaires to one central location?

Folks can send their answers to the profile e-mail for you, msbelle, or me.

I will get the file set-up and add you as a maintainer in the morning (hopefully msbelle is ok with all this - I'm just volunteering her until she says no).

Whee! Profile-addy is good.

What is even happening?

While lurking, I noticed the Buffy & Angel thread is at 10,218 posts. I don't know if you all still turn over threads at 10K or not, but am mentioning it, just in case.

flea "Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!" Nov 26, 2016 6:21:58 pm PST

Also, Lightbulbs is at 10,148: Jon B. "Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!" Oct 19, 2016 6:09:55 pm PDT.

Thanks for looking out for us, Cindy! We do 30,000 posts per thread now.

Would someone who is NOT a maintainer of the b.org Address List try this link to the Buffista List of Awesomeness? We are testing doing this through a form instead of asking you to e-mail it to one of us. This will automatically load into a spreadsheet and then one of us can copy and paste the responses when we get requests from y'all.

Before I post this in Press, I want to make sure it works for someone who doesn't have edit access. Thanks in advance!
