Alright. That makes 4. I'm opening the thread. DX? Ready?
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
No, because I have to go to a meeting. Back in a bit.

I don't like the proposal, but I'll talk about why later.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Sophia, that looks like a very good, clear summation.

I've posted the announcement in Press and in Lightbulb. Could someone else check the Press announcement to make sure I got the dates right?
Lightbuld discussion starts here:

Since I wasn't really clear before, I meant that just because I didn't bring up the vote on "old issues" doesn't mean it isn't important to me that it be voted on. I'd really like to see this become the next issue in lightbulbs regardless of whether we have a list of "old issues" or not.

As I understand, someone (Anne W, I think) is still putting together that list, but it's been held up a bit by board and RL events. When it's complete, or nearly so, I think we'll get a discussion and vote.

Discussion: NOW - 5/9/03 11:59 pm EST Voting: 5/10/03 12 am EST - 5/13/03 12:00 am EST
DXM, the discussion ends on the 9th, so there are full 4 days of discussion and some more - a part of today, so 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, with only the last 4 days being full, because today has already started, right? If that's what you intended (and that's how it was in most of the former votes-discussions), then your numbers are good (like there was any doubt of that).

Thanks, Nilly. I was using the last proposal as a template, and just wanted to make sure.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Since the proposer is responsible for posting the call to vote, I think He/She should also think about making the timeing of that posting at a good time for them (ex NOT at midnight EST when you are an east coast morning person and in bed by ten or something). I mean, I think we should feel free to change it.
