I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

I'm doing etiquette, but I think tina's doing the FAQ. We might want to bring the guacamole posts to her attention.

I've marked all pertinent posts. I am also making a giganto list of stuff to change for Jon. But I'll leave the site etiquette stuff off mine and he can use what Lyra Jane's collected.

I am in hangover recovery mode and about to watch some OC - but I plan on working on this and posting stuff to discuss/change/agree on in the near future.

I was just thinking that there are a lot more Buffista-specific words that aren't in the FAQ.

There are. There are also bunch that DX/Dana mentioned could be deleted that refer to Buffy plot points long gone or never mentioned here. And, like you said, a bunch more to add. I have a list started and will add to it as people throw em out there. If they come with definitions and/or Nilly'd links to their origin - all the more helpful.

And can I just say that the last time I posted in Bureau was to ask people for FAQ input and then I was gone for two days - came back to over 650 new posts and I nearly CRIED because I thought they were ALL FAQ posts. Whew.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and I nearly CRIED because I thought they were ALL FAQ posts.

So the acrimony was a plus for you personally, eh?

Maybe a Buffista Glossary would be easiest. Just pull those FAQ elements into one place.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Oh yeah -- the [NAFDA] looks a lot better, I think!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I agree. Stands out, but less jarring.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

tina, I have to say, I took a look at the FAQ, and the sheer number of changes resulting from the end of the shows makes me twitch, so thank you for volunteering to update it.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I think a link to the etiquette info as suggested by Sophie Max is a good idea.

So, that's a little ground to swell with...

Yay Maroon!

Steph: I was just thinking that there are a lot more Buffista-specific words that aren't in the FAQ.

Dana: I think that's the sound of someone volunteering...

Tina: I have a list started and will add to it as people throw em out there. If they come with definitions and/or Nilly'd links to their origin - all the more helpful.

Oh - Steph - if you want to do this - please do. If not, I have no problem doing it myself.

So the acrimony was a plus for you personally, eh?

Heh. Yeah.

It's so pretty! Thanks, Jon.

Thank you, too, Sophie, btw.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh! I like the burgundy NAFDAs.

Excellent suggestions, Sophie. Merci beaucoup.
