I think that's a good idea. 'writing' is what it's used for in practice. And trying to stop people posting poetry and things... isn't in the slightest bit sensible.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Just to clarify, there's never been any attempt to stop people posting poetry -- more like an occasional "well, gosh, it's poetry, and I didn't think that was in the scope of this thread" worry on the part of an occasional poet.

There weren't any objections, so I've changed the Great Write Way slug.

I have a friend at another board who turned 25 years old today. She complained that she was now a quarter of a century old and feeling it.
Can we have her warned, suspended, banned, and stuff, even though she doesn't post here?
Please?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Second!!!
Trial in absentia, I say!!!

Thirded. I'm younger than her and I still think that's stupid.

(Oh - she's not stupid; she's sweet, and bright, and a very kind woman, too. She just deserves trial in absentia.)

Thanks for all the fish.
I'd add my second, but I'm too busy trying to get these kids offa my lawn.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Don't mind me, I'm just sitting over here, sucking on my dentures and whittling.
