OK GANG; VOTE EARLY; VOTE OFTEN.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF (HEREWITH AND INFORMALLY) ADOPTING THE ABOVE "SUBJECT:"
PREFIXES AS AN UNOFFICIAL STANDARD (LETS NOT! FORM A COMMITTEE FOR THIS
ONE"), SIGNIFY SAME BY DOING NOTHING! (JUST PERSONALLY ADOPT THE USE OF THE
STANDARD IN YOUR OWN POSTS FROM NOW ON; THEY SEEM EFFICIENT ENOUGH, LET ANY
FURTHER WORK BECOME AVAILABLE ADDITIONS BY volunteers, NOT TOPICS).
THOSE AGAINST SAY "NAY".
THE AYES HAVE IT.
BYE.
