Hey!
Umm, really don't have a strong opinion about the psued's. And I figure it is up to the spoiler people to decide on whether a Wonderfalls spoiler thread is needed.
Hmm, apparently I don't need to be here. Now to tackle the many hundred of posts that seem to have been made today.
So far, I'm charmed by the ferrets, the minions, and the lurkers.
I don't think the pseuds are a problem -- they don't result in flaming, trolling, or spamming. And Clovis can't actually type.
Nope, it's a Teppy-ism.
Actually, this is making me wonder if maybe it should be in the FAQ.
Dude! I wanna be in the FAQ! Memememe!!!
Ahem.
(I thought "In-E-mail-We-Lurkers-Support" was funny as hell.)

Word. And I was having fun trying to figure out who it was. I wasn't even close.
The only thing that has bothered me about it is the brief, horrible flashes of memories of Other Boards that it conjured up for me. Of course, Other Boards aren't this one.

Clovis doesn't seem like a sock puppet or a pseud. He's a fully formed being of his own... He's different somehow.
I am not a big fan multiple IDs for various easons, mostly unspecified, but having to do with trust.
So I guess I'm on the same page with msbelle.

My only problem with pseuds are the old "if everyone did it" argument. However, it does not appear to have gotten out of hand yet, so I don't really mind.

Does he know that?
(And I think he probably can, but why bother when GothyGirl will do it for him?)
