Thanks Yally! I really appreciate the warm welcome.

I think I was originally subscribed to the lists somewhere in the 2000-2003
timeframe or thereabouts, though I never registered. Apparently I've been
subscribed to the yoyo backup list ever since then. I started filtering it
out my inbox in 2008 or so, but I still liked to get the occasional
reminders my long-term goal of participating in a nomic like Agora.

 Hi Shredder,

 Welcome to Agora! As others have mentioned, that is indeed a good way to
 submit a proposal. And, the one you submitted is a good one too. You've got
 my vote.

 Since you titled your post long time listener, I'm wondering if you're
 implying that you've been watching the game without participating for some
 time. Is this the case? If so, how long have you been watching?

 I create a proposal:

 Is This How Proposals Work (AI=3, Ordinary)

 Amend Rule 2138 by replacing the text an yother with the text any
 other.

 Repeal Rule 2409, Star Chamber. [The Star Chamber works identically to
 the Ordinary Chamber.]

Wow, *long* time listener indeed.

Should still do that an yother fix...

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure the rule doesn't actually contain that text;
rather, it's an old Rulekeepor error.  Could have missed some history
though.

Welcome!

Indeed it is how.  And was it me who nuked the 'secret' part of the Star
Chamber?  That was unintentional (or at least, I forget what my intentions 
were).  -G.
