I understand that all identifiable information will be stripped out, but will we still be individually anonymous (if that makes sense)? E.g., will all of my posts be attributed to "Poster 42" or whatever, or will they have no attribution beyond the board?
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

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!

Our wings are not tired.
Personally, I would opt in and vote for the participation in the project. I feel that the archived posts from this board would be useful to the researchers of ANCC. The Buffistas are a particularly literate group and I can see how the content and flow of our threads would make a unique contribution. Hopefully we won't lightbulb the process to the extent that it would be more trouble than it is worth to contribute our posts.

Will they be using lightbulb and/or b'cy posts?

First of all, only currently closed threads will be eligible for the ANC. Which ones, yet, are not determined, but most likely Natter, Music, and the Show/Spoiler Threads. Bitches will not be one of the threads (too much personal info). Unamericans/Canadians will not be included, either (supposed to be for American English). FanFiction and San Sacre will not be included (too hard to separate fiction from nonfiction).
Doesn't sound like B'cracy would be included and we don't have a archived Light Bulbs thread.

Got it. Although it would be somewhat cool if the posts about using posts for the post project were used for the post project.
Maybe just to me.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I think erinaceous just wants to put us in a lab and do experiments on us.
Which, on the whole, I'm in favor of.

the nice thing about being a linguist is that the whole world is your lab! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha.
I am not sure whether the anonymization is total (all user names revert to USER NAME) or whether it's USER 42. I'll ask.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Is there any chance that our quotes would end up in a publication of any kind, like an academic journal of linguistics or anything? I ask because it'd make a difference whether I opt in or not. I'm fine with one or a dozen random researchers reading about how my relationship history influences my reading of Buffy's in the show threads, or all my gripes about work in Natter. I'm not sure I'd feel the same about my posts being quoted in a journal and read by lots of people in the field.
Which is stupid of me, because of course ANYBODY could find this completely public forum and who knows how many lurkers know all about me, but there it is.

She does have a rather Fred vibe. Do the AtS writers know her?
I'm verra fond of my user number so that would be shiny.
