Also in favor and will opt in. Although if one does OLDER threads, I will have more words. Gosh I remember when I was one of the most talkative!
Also, how does one pronounce mearaing?
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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!

Hee. Me too, Sophia, so I'm glad they're using archived threads.

I'm all for it and will opt in ... not that I've posted that much, but, hey.
meara - Jan 26, 2004 5:51:33 pm PST #3416 of 10289
Um, I generally pronounce meara something like "meera". Maybe with a little more a in the middle. But not "may-are-uh".
But as a verb, it's not really up to me...;)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Any effort that might result in 'bwah' being in a dictionary is fine by me.

erin, are you by any chance looking for multiple clever, literate internet communities to study? Because if so, I have a feeling my DH's main online community might be up for donating some of their archives. At least, I'm sure he'd think it was cool enough to want to present it to them.

In favor of, will opt-in for, don't care if you use my name (I know I'm in the minority), would love to see Bitches included, but, oh, well. How old of threads will be used?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm in, permission-wise. Not that I'm a prolific poster, nor have been. Still, in.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'll opt in and I have to say, I'm pretty excited about the prospects of the project.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Susan, let's see how many K of text we get out of the Buffistas, and then I might follow up with you.
One of the cool things about the ANC is that it's a balanced corpus, so that there's not too much of any one kind of text. It's not all novels, or all newspapers, or all spoiler threads ...
Thank you for the offer!
