Connie, could I send your (anonymous) quote to the organizers?
erinaceous, now that I've stopped squeeing in delight and all that, most certainly you may use the quote.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Connie, sent. More than a handful of corpus linguists will find your inspiring quote in their inboxes this morning. :-) Thank you!

Misha, didn't he at least get you the mumblemumble t-shirt?
No. He slapped the hat on my head at a cocktail party, where it was much admired, and I have occasionally worn it since on Greenmarket mornings when I couldn't bear to wash my hair before going out. No T-shirt. But I did get Vol. 2 of HDAS.

Hi, I heard about this in someone's LJ post and wandered over here. It sounds really cool! I was wondering if only the past archived threads will be used, because of the knowing-you're- being- observed- changes- the-behavior thing, or if upcoming threads will be added to the corpus too. Or once it's dead, then it can be dissected.

I think we will only use the archived threads.
Also, the body to which we would be sending this info has started a LJ! We're thinking that you can friend the LJ and then they can use your posts. Cool, huh?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
And how would we find out who this LJ is? Huh, huh?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What is said in backchannel, stays n backchannel.

If I only had a brain...
But some Buffistas, I hear, do not have LJs. Or so I would have heard, were there a backchannel. Oh, wait. I can't hear those Buffistas because I have backchannel and they do not. Nyah nyah nyah, and keep banging those rocks together!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I see there's a Buffistas LJ.

Very cool. How would one go about finding out the name of this lj? Profile e-mail is good, and my lj name's amchau.

For general information, lj have removed the invite code thing. It's now much easier to get an lj should you desire one.
