could we modify the voting email form to be an opt-in form?
Ooh, Jess smart. That's a good idea.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Thanks for all the fish.
You know what's neat? "Nilly" and "meara" could end up in the dictionary.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That would be so cool! Mejia, too.

Heh. I just thought it could be complicated to distinguish between the times it's a name and the times it's all other sort of parts of a sentence.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Not so bad, if it's a search and replace kind of thing, in context.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Corpus linguists have special name-as-name and name-as-word sensors, so no worries there. And I'm only half-joking about that.
I think that we would choose a date on which to threadsuck and no posts would be taken after that date. However, if the last 1000 posts on that date were FOAMY! FOAMY! FOAMY! the linguists might get a tad annoyed. Just FYI.
I will get more info and try to post a complete summary by next Tuesday. Sound okay? I'll also try to answer questions from Lightbulb in the interim, if the discussion is moving there. Should an announcement be made in Press that this discussion is going on? I'd like to hear from lots of folks so I make sure I answer everyone's questions.

As far as emailing vs posting opt-in goes, could we modify the voting email form to be an opt-in form?
I should be able to easily modify that form to automagically send an email to erinaceous and a "receipt" email to the poster. In fact, it should be easier than setting up a ballot.
"automagically". Heh. I want that in the dictionary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'd suggest that we do a formal vote with discussion in lightbulbs, etc., to determine if The Buffistas want to do this. Then erinaceous can let us know what makes the most sense for her as far as opt-in goes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Seconded.

I think erinaceous should make the formal proposal.
