Oh, as usual, dear. I *heart* flaming otter, but I see Shawn's point.

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.

No, no, I love the growing trend of Buffista's names in threads. I don't think it's going to get out of hand. It certainly hasn't yet.

I vote for Oh, As Usual, Dear, at least partially because, though she is loved in her absence, Cindy might feel weird that we name a thread for her after she's left, and/or feel that were trying to subtly exhort her to return, and I think we should leave well enough alone on that front.

Cindy...absence...left...return? What? I must be seriously out of the loop.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Wolfram, Cindy left due to family issues and we can be a time-sucky thing.

Damn. I'll miss you, Cindy, but I totally understand. Hope we get some drive-bys.

She didn't want to make a thing out of it, because it wasn't really a thing, but staying was too much of a drain on her time, so she felt it best to just leave off altogether.

I'd rather see Cindy the Flaming Otter on Natter because then at least I'd see her name around for 10,000 more posts.

And I'm uncomfortable with a growing trend of naming threads after people. It's like a popularity contest.
I have to agree with Shawn here.
So, a vote for Oh, Dear.
