Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Six Months? Yeah. I guess that's what we agreed to. No sense in crying over spilt milk.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Nutty's rough draft of Buffista procedure is here.

Comments needed. Since she wrote it back in May, and I've been the slothiest sloth in Slotheldania, some things are out of date. I updated a couple of things but I'm sure more work in needed.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Aargh. I am not sure how I used to have the time to be so into voting procedures...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, you guys!

I notice this about the moratorium:

The vote of confidence was scheduled to take place June 29, 2003, but never occurred.

So, it seems like 6 months turned out to be just right, then? As we're almost there and no one's brought it up?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Right, Jesse. I think everyone seems to be OK with 6 months as a timespan, or if they're not, they should say something!

Looking at the document, I can see that Spoilers and the last paragraph of Voting will need rewrites, due to recent votes. I'm glad to see that new thread proposals and thread consolidation votes went down without anything really really bad happenning (or if it did, don't tell me).

But mostly, are people OK with the thing? Anybody has nitpicks or dislikes, I'm certainly willing to do rewrites (banking on Jon's indulgence in HTMLification).

in anticipation of rewrites, I did very little htmlification to this one. I just fixed a few bits of bad code.

I didn't go over it with a fine-toothed comb, but it looked good to me!

I misread that as "htmliation," and figured that was about right.

Hmm, maybe we need a definition for htmliation.

HTMLiation, n (ach-tee-em-el-ee-ay-shun)

1. The act of displaying one's limitation in knowledge of HTML code in front of coworkers and/or the public at large.

2. The fear of displaying one's limitation in knowledge of HTML code in front of coworkers and/or the public at large.

3. The state of being humiliated by doing so.

move out and draw fire

DCJ, I am *so* using that new word at work.

And the Buffista Law looks fine to me.
