Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Bureaucracy 2: Like Sartre, Only Longer  

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.

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

How is this current issue ever going to be settled?

The conversation could die down, and we could throw some water on the embers and let Bureaucracy pick up a few thread name discussions for a few weeks.

Doesn't need a fourth second. IIRC, proposal and three seconds is the rule.

I thought it was four, but don't rmember for sure.

Four seconds. According to this:

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

aurelia, I don't think there is. If there was, Gus had it. But I do vaguely remember him asking for addresses in Natter....

juliana, I just heard back from Gus. He's starting from scratch. I'm just trying to find out what setup (if any) the board already has for such things.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So at this point, Lightbulbs needs to be opened?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

someone please Nilly the requirements.

If it has enough seconds, get a Stompy to open Lightbulbs and please keep all discussions on the merits for and against a politics thread there,

Aimee, since you proposed it, you need to work out the wording for the first post in Lightbulbs and make a post in Press linking to the begining of the discussion in Lightbulbs, or work with a Stompy to do it.

David, it's been done, no need to discuss the merits of doing it or not.

Rafnum, your are welcome. if you have any procedural questions, you can also email me since things are not unlike a whirlwind in here and you may feel like a lightening rod at the moment.

I am off for the night food to eat and events to attend. Be well.

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

So at this point, Lightbulbs needs to be opened?

Christ, it's been so long.

Jon? Do we just put the proposal up in press, and open lightbulb at this point?


Jessica - Apr 01, 2004 1:18:23 pm PST #8912 of 10005
And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So at this point, Lightbulbs needs to be opened?

Yup. Let's bulb.

Four seconds, right. My bad. I was probably thinking 4 included the proposer, but it doesn't.

I think with Susan's second there are four anyway.
