Good one, Dana. I might add, "....not that we have anything against robots."
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well, we already have robots. No, wait, those are remote-controlled zombies. I guess that's different.

And the RIOBOT occasionally makes an appearance.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I think that what's there should be rewritten

amych's is slightly more practical, I must admit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Unless we send HTML e-mails (I'm against that, FTR) there will be no t a tags. Which means any URLs will be spelled out, and may need ot be on their own lines to prevent being broken.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I think it's a great idea to link to stuff in the confirm email. I also think no one will read it. We should link to it above the confirm password part, at least.

Me too, actually -- which is what I get for posting my mental shorthand for "find the URL for this" as if it were actual prose.
I shall edit to fix that and include robots.
