Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I think our Buffisa culture on this sort of issue is the following:

1) Our proposals are not drafted by lawyers. I'm not sure if any of the actual lawyers on this board have ever submitted a proposal or suggested modifications that were accepted. (Well Wolfram made some proposals - but I don't think they ever came to a vote.)

2) Given that we tend to rely on intent over strict interpetation of language. And we tend favor common sense over intent.

3) This is not a government. But if it were, it would be a government of people, not laws. And while I think this would be bad thing in actual government, because we are NOT a government, I think this is a good thing and avoids huge scads of trouble.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

means that we could have talked about MT coming onto Buffy, but could not have talked about ASH leaving. Right?

Since ASH's departure from the main cast was announced over the summer, it could have been talked about under these rules.

Okay, the reason I had suggested using the upfronts was because it was clear. There's no confusion then about what's official. I feel like announcements is fuzzy. But I guess that ship has sailed.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

We could have talked about MT joining the cast, but we couldn't have revealed who/what her character would be. Is that correct?

That's my understanding.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Have you and I been following the same discussion?

Our wings are not tired.

Talk about your xposty goodness. I love when that happens. And yes, that would be my understanding too.
