Too precise. I feel like the actual time frame is less concrete. So I'd like "twenty-ish" or similar.

I said it was pedantic.

We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

I said it was pedantic.
I was counting from the first Buffy thread on TT, which was 1997.
I don't actually have, like, Strong Feelings about it. Just, somebody wanted a little contentiousness, and my pedantry runs strong, so I offered it up.
Over 20 years?
Last century?
In the before time
Once upon a time there was a Watcher
Not the only one or even two
Remember how we typed away the hours
And debate the exegesis true
Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
Aw, -t, you're making me sniffly.
"Over twenty years" works for me, especially considering we'll probably keep this description for quite a long time!
I made the mistake of hitting "Recent" and reading the last Lightbulbs case we opened - I think we deserve a nice easy one, you know?
And of course this got me to go back and read the last one. As fraught as that felt, we handled it pretty well. More introspection, less contention.
I would still support DX doing this though:
Of course that doesn't mean I don't feel the urge to change my tagline to "I told you so!" :)
Cilantro tastes like soap!
Fake news!
