[Changing-how often do you do it?]

Hmmm! I was fairly sure I had type '**bleep**leness" but 'i' and 'u' are next to each other on the keyboard so it might have been a typo.

[Changing-how often do you do it?]

I refuse to change. Why should I conform to insulting male stereotypes regarding the **bleep**leness of the female?

@Venus/Derek: Which posts?

@Busty: Yeah, right, everyone's going to be believing *that* explanation . . .

@Suella: You and your friends are probably not PR "professionals" who are being paid well to ensure that the relevant messages are being communicated accurately. Or maybe not.

I will continue to recommend a Bayesian filter until someone realises that it works.

@WCMedows: Try joining The Forum Cartel Group or popping over to the Off Topic forum here - *then* after a while try claiming that there are no social networks in SL! Cato

@Dee: I really don't want to fight about it, but with a degree of inside knowledge I disagree with your perception that it was malice that got Quinn's Strengthening the Community thread moved from Friends to Off Topic. My understanding was that initially Quinn wanted to restart the thread in the then non-existent GD, and put it in the Friends subforum as the next best place. I will take responsibility for mentioning this to Lexie as well as my opinion that I thought that some of the public and personal disclosures would be better made out of the eye of the general public, once the "for registered members only" Off Topic subforum was opened by Lexie for us. If you think that was meddling, then I won't complain, as you would be right, but please don't think that the suggestion was made to Lexie with anything but the best of intentions - and of course, Lexie need not have acted upon it if she had not agreed.

I suppose a Vanity Thread *should* be about fishing for complements [sic].

I am confused. Are you Nancy or Crystal? This isn't Facebook so if you want to make friends you might want to give us some reasons to want to befriend you as you might be a serial killer stalking victims - or even wose, boring!

You look a bit like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, Talismere. They stretched the vertical height proportionately to make Richard Gere seem taller and she ended up looking like she had anorexia. Oh and did you know it's not her body (just the head 'shopped on) in the famous poster for the movie.

[Limit Number of Threads Started]

If I were in charge I would allow new forum registrations only to post questions in Answers (with a character limit to make them think carefully about what they really wanted to know) for a month which might not only restrict spamming but would also help improve the quality of the Forums by forcing those who might be interetsed in lurking for long enough to get a feel for the culture.

All of my friends have been made after they have contacted me regarding things I have said in SL forums; some of my enemies too.

@Suella: "Unfortunate"? As far as I am concerned - and I am probably not alone - Amanda's credibility will never recover.

Wouldn't such a regime encourage the proliferation of alts (and thus increase confusion) by those who felt they had legitimate reasons to raise issues in multiple threads without any interest in acquiring rank?

[Conversation with the World Bank]

An economist was stranded, with a physicist and a chemist on that desert island with no food growing on it, but with loads of crates of tinned food which had washed up on its shores. In the absence of a knife or can opener to get at the food, he dismissed the suggestion of the physicist that they try focusing the sun's rays with their spectacles to burn the cans open, and that of the chemist, who wanted to throw them into the sea and wait for the salt water to corrode them enough that they could tear them open with their bare hands. His suggestion? "Assume we have a can opener".
