Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

True, but sadly, I just went to an Ice-Ice-Baby place.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On the poll: are " don't change anything" and "more threads will dilute" meant to be complementary or opposing positions? "Check one" implies, to me, that the three possible answers should be mutually exclusive, or at least clearly differentiated.
Should it be phrased so all three options are mutually exclusive?
Or should the first question be different? Or two questions?

Interesting! Thanks for posting, Ice. I lurk in other places and completely sympathize with the lurking urge. It's hard to start posting here. I think it's weird not to lurk in natter or bitches though-- it's public to all.
Anyway, as a lurker myself elsewhere, I don't think lurkers have cooties. I just think that the health of the board means if there's a difference of opinion between the people who post and the people who don't post, it's totally crazy to drive away the former in preference for the latter-- because there's no board for anyone then.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thanks for the input, Ice. I think that really does cover the issue.
As long as you're registered you can vote. We made it that way a long time ago and that's not changing.

Exactly. Thank you for posting that, Ice.

For example, Hec, I like the way the board is now, but I don't want to see a kajillion new TV threads either. So I don't know which I'd check. That's probably unhelpful, what with not actually having a suggestion...

We can't check more than one? I think it would be common to check "no change" and "no expansion."
