I think that this might not work out as you hope...

How is this related to the Ministry of Redundancy Ministry?

Actually I meant the Department of Redundancy Department.

D. Sky Onosson said...

but now I'm being redundant

D. Sky Onosson said...

I was being redundant just there, as an example of redundancy.

heh.

now, i realize that in the last line i practically invited people to mess with my post, but that wasn't my real intention.

that line was fiction.

i wish it to remain so.

however, feel free to re-post my original post, with your additions.

Lorne Roberts said...

sorry for any misunderstanding.

:)

Lorne Roberts said...

and i did keep a bit of yr edits.

D. Sky Onosson said...

Let me just say, despite appearances, I was not the one who edited your post. In all seriousness, I would never do that to anyone, least of all without discussing it with them in advance.

i'll edit your face. cut, copy, paste. your face.

hmmm. We might be onto something there...an open post, one that can sort of democratically evolve. Edit back and foirth, amongst the collaborators. Hard though, because you constantly feel challenged, and must exercise empathy in making changes.

Ike Friesen believes in this kind of thinking, as long as it's for a greater beauty?

That was two rounds. I wonder a post would be like after 10? and multiple collaborators? Like Wikipidea, Wikipediart?


Anyways, I like what happened there.

What I don't like is the last line...it's misleading. change it or...don't :)

jeez,
i miss everything.

I like the idea that JC proposed, i think that would be fun...and maybe we say no deletions only additions or modifications?
That is more constructive.

yes. that works. we'd have to give everyone admin privledges though...unless it was just a repost, but I think a single post is better. sound good?
