How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Maybe just me, but when we were at WX when the board was down, it weirded me out that my name was on a list at the left. Just sitting there. For other people to see.

Our wings are not tired.

No doubt the reasons against far outweigh.

True Deena. It was always odd the see how many lurkers were about. And that was only the list of people that didn't hide their names. OTOH, there also was the "oh goody Deena is here" reaction when I read the list.

I meant to ask this earlier -- if any Buffistas who have changed their names want that name changed reflected on the BRQG? Please lemme know.

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

Shrift, I don't know if I was COMM'd before my name change, but if so I'd like to have them changed from Ro to Astarte.

Or do you want an email request? Not sure the protocol here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is even happening?

Yeah, it needs a ciao.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Maybe include a link to the FAQ in the letter? Can you do that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I vote Site Ettiquette and/or How To, rather than FAQ.

Before we start adding stuff, I think that what's there should be rewritten - I suspect that's exactly what was in there in the bare bones testing period, and it never got glammed up with the rest of the text.

But I do think Etiquette should be there.
