with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

But the rest of the world can count.

Sure, but we've been talking about other places in terms of what has worked there, and what hasn't, and what we can learn from those places. Hec was talking about reducing numberslutting *here*, so saying "I don't numberslut elsewhere" is irrelevant. Plus, as Nou points out, it wouldn't have been clear to someone not at PF that Deb was discussing PF in the first place.

ita, what about the 7-minute auto-refresh? Or can we set an attribute to the autorefresh that limits the number of times that it does it? I'm going to go research that second one right now...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

so saying "I don't numberslut elsewhere" is irrelevant.

I think it was really just part of a conversation. It wasn't being offered up as anything else. And if we start busting people for not having every part of their post be on topic, even in this thread, we'll be very busy.

I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't know deb had her own thread, and I still figured out what she was saying. What I can't figure out is why you're taking this much objection to it. I can understand the original confusion, but this is getting silly. All she was doing was telling a friend that she never numbersluts anywhere, only instead of saying "anywhere", she mentioned where her any is.

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

900 people have their refresh rates set at 5 minutes.

They are going to be startled.

I can bump it by changing one line of code and running one SQL statement.

What's the rationale behind 7 again? I was just going to go for 10.

I think you should make the default whatever you think is appropriate, ita.

The minimum reload time is now ten minutes.

And in terms of board usage, there have been 206 unique posters this month so far.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Re the refresh thing - I have mine at zero and just check "read new", but I only subscribe to five threads regularly (two more added at the moment, but one coming out until Elena gets back).

I'm stone ignorant about this, but I'm deducing (deducting? defibrillating?) that the more threads you subscribe to, the more useful the auto refresh is?

Aw Kristen, don't cry. We're all using read new. We've reset our refreshes to zero. I have my profile set to load 50 posts at a time. I'm going to change it to 75, now. We'll be all right. Any feed back on how much turning off the RQG helped us?
