Is now the time to second? Cuz, if it is, I second.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

Seconding or thirding or whatev.
Wondering if these stick-to-procedure types have heard of lifetime achievement awards :P <-- Please to be noting the dratted emoticon. These words are meant tongue in cheek.

Thanks for all the fish.
I'll second as well.
What good are rules and procedures if we don't bother to follow them? How can we know if they work if we don't try?

I'm against the idea at this time for reasons I will discuss during the discussion period.
I second the motion, bringing us to four. There we go.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I thought you were abstaining from discussion, Sean.

Thanks Deena.
Then, by all means, we have a suggestion of 'Minearvana," so..any others?
um.. Allyson is proposing that Tim gets a thread.
The thread name isn't necessary yet, is it?
Do we still need seconders?
Edited, because name is not the same as title. See what happens when I post and talk on the phone at the same time?
Edited again because.. I guess if the name isn't specified in the vote, and it's not considered "maintenance" then maybe it is needed. But then, since it's Allyson's proposal, it'll be her thread to name.
Also, is thread the right word? Sartre is a thread. What is the collective noun for bureaucracy threads? (I'm gonna get a lot of sarcastic answers to that, aren't I? :) And is it one Phoenix board, or many Buffista boards? I'm thinking about this too hard, aren't I?

Welcome, Julie.
I'd guess, thread name would be something we'd come to by consensus assuming it passes? Like other thread names? Though I'd have no objection to it being included in the ballot -- unless the name turns someone off and they vote no because they don't like the name and not because they don't like the idea.
IOW, I have no idea.

Do we still need seconders?
Nope.
Seconds - Deena, Plei, Elena, Me. That's the four needed. I'm sure there's plenty others who would do so, but we have what we need.

I may have missed it, but I don't think anyone in the past few days has mentioned fiddling with the Angel threads due to its possible cancellation. Bless your collective optimism.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I think it's just an arbitrary "after we get back home and the season is over and we're settled back in again" sort of thing.
That's all I meant. Sorry for the confusion.
