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.
Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Over 20 years?

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!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
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!" :)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Fake news!
Like cilantro, facts have evolved.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"More than" twenty years! Unless you mean "over the span of twenty years."
