'Touched'
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.

John H. left because of the mieskie/schmoker incident. He told me the same by email right after he disappeared. I say this to clear up any uncertainty WRT John H. But a damn shame all around.
Edited to remove the direct quote from John H.'s email which I had quoted w/o his permission. (Although he did tell me quite firmly to never contact him again, so that permission is unlikely to ever be gotten.)
Wolfram, did he say you could post that? (Not wanting to start anything here, but I also don't want to set a precedent of posting back-channel stuff, as that leads to lots of problems. Maybe, if everyone posting a quote from an email or livejournal or IM conversation would just note "X said I could post this" as a matter of habit, it would be useful.)
It's 2am eastern. That means it's even late for the west coasters. Could we, do you think, all vacate bureacracy for a bit and come back to this in, say, 24 hours? Or maybe on Monday? I think we could find tempers cooled and frustrations subsiding if we just gave it a rest.

Edited. And thanks Hil. My better judgement went to sleep about 2 hours ago.
I second Deena's motion.
Thirded.
Get out, get out, get out!
This post has nothing to do with the last gajillion posts (i.e. I am not crossing the picket line on Deena's suggested break).
I feel like such a problem child, but I think I'm starting to find my way. When a stompy gets a chance
(and I really mean that—have coffee and donuts, or Kasha or something—there's no hurry—my identity crisis is only my own fault),
would/could/will said stompy please change my name on this account to Topic!Cindy.
Thanks, in advance.
How's that, Cindy?
Thank you so much, Liese!
