Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Long time listener, first time caller
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. - Shredder On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 11:08 AM, Aaron Goldfein aarongoldf...@gmail.comwrote: 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? -Yally On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 6:15 AM, Geoff Schmidt ge...@geoffschmidt.comwrote: I, Shredder, am an organism that is generally capable of freely originating and communicating independent thoughts and ideas, at least when it's the fastest way to get what I want.

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.

That was unintentional (or at least, I forget what my intentions were). -G.
