I might could get into that one ....

Is the new "POLITICS" forum a kind of a consequence of this discussion? It kind of disturbs me, though, that it is not clearly marked as "Politics OUTSIDE DUNE" -- for, you know, politics inside Dune is SO SWELL a subject, you know? It's back there on the first chapter of Dune: "...the purpose of the Bene Gesserit" ... "Politics!" ... "You made the inference with surprisingly few facts" -- sorry too lazy to quote it correctly...

now you're willfully misunderstanding.

the Politics forum is clearly under Non-Dune Discussion.

Somewhat, but I still plan to do more.

She nodded. "We have two chief survivors of those ancient schools: the Bene
Gesserit and the Spacing Guild. The Guild, so we think, emphasizes almost pure
mathematics. Bene Gesserit performs another function."
"Politics," he said.
"Kull wahad!" the old woman said. She sent a hard glance at Jessica.
"I've not told him. Your Reverence," Jessica said.

No, actually I was thinking of how FH wrote "SPACE TRAVEL!" in the Appendix on religion.

Like SC pointed out, the Politics forum is in "Non-Dune discussion".

If you'd like to discuss the politics of Dune I'd suggest the appropriate faction forum such as "The Landsraad" or "The Bene Gesserit".

(Um, like SR pointed out.)

Man, can you believe me? I swear to you i had noticed it was marked "Non-Dune discussion". But i stand for my remark, that a better name is better. It is a nuance thing.

In my years managing two e-mail lists, thank godz i no longer have to do that, but i acquired an immense regard for the nuances of things when more than, say, 3 or 4 people have to read a same text. I sincerely believe that "hearts and minds" would be better served and respected and organized by a clearer description. Not because people can't understand what it means as the thing is now, but because they will feel the organizing effort.

You might think i am joking, or being just annoying, but i feel this quote shows what my concern is: "The beginning is the time to take the most delicate care that the balances are correct."

The current form is correct? Yes. Does it have a delicate balance? I really doubt that.

But i make no demands here, i was just pointing out that "it kind of disturbs me" in a vague-feeling sort of way...

I am your doppelganger - get used to it.

Well stop the fucking presses: the new kid is disturbed by something.

Quick now, Freak, jump right on it.

Please, i never meant anything as an order, sorry if it even sounded like it.

EDIT: repented sarcastic tone. Chig: sorry for editing...

But of course.

Too frequently real life gets in the way of my goofing off on the internet. I promise though, I apreciate and will consider all of your suggestions.

By the way, is there some reason the spammers aren't being cleared from the member list?

They've been Freakbanned!

Was just wondering. since their presence falsely inflates the size of the membership.

I say nuke them outright. The only advantage you get by keeping them around is that you can ban specific names, but those names mean nothing anyway. Its the IP ban and e-mail ban that is most effective.

I will pencil it into my schedule.

Freak, wasn't sure where to post this but...

Could you change my group designation (or whatever it's called) to "Magical Furry Saint" or "Fat & Sassy" or something else you think appropriate?

If the current one is going to be the cause of a continuing stream of borderline racist drool, I'd rather just get rid of it.

Thanks.

Since we are asking, can you change mine also FZ?

thanks

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it had become a problem. How's that for now?

Ranks are bestowed, not requested.

I will eventually think of one for all the regulars, most likely based on something humorous... when you least expect it.

Ooh ... now I'm just the cat's meow. "Professional," too. Eat that, Merritt!
