    Anna is a good choice for demographic diversity, but doesn't do much for political or geographic diversity, both of which could be useful to WF.

    • Geographic: she is the only Pacific coast owner, adding diversity to two central and one Eastern.
    • Political: we already had a liberal, a conservative, and a libertarian. What else did we need?
    I suppose we could make Rick and the Lonely Squire owners, they would certainly increase political diversity.

    Statistically, such people don't post here. Also, I don't trust the Euro.

    Anna, Queen of Tards, is an idiot. Her primary contribution to the board was her tedious smilie spamming in rep comments. Whatever "favors" Dul is referencing must include cooter pics and phone sex. But as a lesson in corporate ladder climbing and how the less than talented bypass those more deserving, this is beneficial.

    Sounds good.

    But if we have four owners, do we really even need moderators anymore?

    Board activity is pretty low these days...

    We spend all of our time in the sheltered shelter, the one we don't release threads from, trying to find out how to ban Packard.

    What is required for someone to own the board? I mean are there fees that have to be paid or a certain sized computer required?

    Fees paid to somebody who owns and maintains a certain type of computer, mostly. Also, some software related subscription fees or costs associated with adding features. Did you want to start one?

    Botched sexual reassignment surgery. It also explains "his" hatred (actually, a blend of envy and resentment) of Caitlan Jenner and other transsexuals, who are actually realizing their dreams, while "he" is stuck in his bizarre half-way state, like something out of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch".

    Has anyone tried to contact phantomofthenet's seeing eye dog? You guys have gone to great strides to make this place more, um, handicapped accessible of late. He could probably post here quite effectively these days.

    Yes, we have been in touch. He does not wish to post here -- I think he logged in on one of those rare days when Volpone had asked a "serious" question.
