Thanks, Hec. That's more or less what I was trying to wind my thoughts around to, but somehow they just never got there. And even with the search function, you still have to weed out the chaff from the exact post you're looking for.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

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!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The more shows involved, the more people who are going to want whitefont -- what if I can see show X on channel A, but don't see show Y on channel B until later? If everything's blackfont, I don't want to read the thread until I've seen show Y. This is the issue that has been discussed regarding a broad TV thread, and I think it still stands.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
PR conversations seem just fine in Natter, I repeat. I mean, the people having them seem not to be not having them well.
God, it's too late to speak English.
Basically, I still really don't like the idea of a general TV thread. I'm anti-proliferation yet would rather see one thread per show than a thread I, a TiVo addict, just can't use. There's nothing in it for me, and I don't think there's enough practicality to the idea for me to vote for it for other people.

Art Crawl!!!
I'm more confused by ita's first sentence then I am by reading whitefonted conversations about various tv shows in Natter.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I don't like the general tv thread, either, but if people really want something like that, I wonder if there would be a way to do a few/some Boxed Sets that would cover more or less everything, but in easy-to-chew segments (Current, Premium, Reality, I don't know what else we would need). It seems like that would be more workable than a general tv thread.

Exactly my point.
Pretty much.
I think.

You mean her second sentence, which simply supports the statement made in her first sentence.

I may mean her untyped third sentence, that clarifies it all.

Our wings are not tired.
At the moment I don't have Premium channels because I found I wasn't home to watch stuff on a timely basis and that left the premium channels as playtoys for the boys.
In general I support the notion of the new thread for those that want the concentrated discussion. I enjoy seeing tv talk in Natter, but mostly I don't watch the shows.
So, um, I'll probably vote no pref because it's good either way.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I would just like to be able to find intelligent viewpoints about shows I am actually watching. Today. Not back in the day.
