I understand that you have to be registered to post. I was thinking of the many sites that require registration to view. Granted, I really don't participate in any other boards like this; I am thinking of newspaper, magazine and technical sites I visit. Many require registration. As I said, it is no biggee for me either way since I register all over the place with my real name and everything!

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!

Well, in our case, you have to register to keep track of stuff, because without a userID you don't have anything to keep your place for what you have and haven't read. Which is, you know, useful, and the first reason I can think of to register.
To clarify tort stuff, and because I like the word tort:
(1) I think it's a great idea that the proposer of a proposal be allowed to withdraw it before the voting period begins, for any reason and without censure or tongue-waggling. (Unless the proposer prefers we waggle our tongues at him.) If the proposer, I don't know, breaks a leg and gets stuck in a hospital with no internet access, or even just changes his mind, there should be the option for the proposer to hand-off advocacy duties to someone else (and stick to the original time-frame).
(2) Said proposal, never having been voted down, should not fall under the moratorium for voted-down things.
I like both of the above. I will put them into Bureaucracy if people would like to consense there about them. Please let us consense about them, because then I will be happy and able to put them into my little Buffista Law document.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Any time...

It may be redundant (in my case at least), but I love my sister.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to tongue waggle and giggle at the same time?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Oh, so tort doesn't mean of or relating to law things I don't understand? That was my impression based on what Congress was thinking about doing a few years ago.
Or, um, yeah. I mean funny-shaped cakes.
