As what I can only assume to be atonement for bad karma collected since just before the Big Bang, I have been given the honour of posting first in the soon-to-be thread commemorating the one year anniversary. Do I do this as early as possible on the 14th, which will be the 13th for almost everybody else, or on the 15th? Answers, along with inspiration, or at least Calliope's phone number, will be greatly appreciated.

I think follow your time - 14th early morning. The whole world will follow you.

YES, Max & CapK - please post on the 14th - and as I recall, the 'decision' was to post as close to 9:00 as possible (for you Americans who don't use a 24-hour clock, that's 9:00AM). We will all then follow your lead!

Ali - how's the graphic coming?

Oh MAX - does your site at AWADabilia have the capacity to include SOUND??? If so, I'll be more than happy to sing something appropriate online!

And a question for the board - shouldn't we keep our posts short & sweet rather than try to outdo each other with long and involved missives??? Just a thought!

Ooooooh, this is getting good!

Care to set the example, then?

AnnaS>Care to set the example, then?

Well, AnnaS - I WAS talking about the Birthday posts!

I don't think I'm the ONLY one who has so much to say from time to time?! And, according to some others on the board, if you don't WANT to read them, you don't HAVE to read them!

Yes. You can upload any type of file at all, so an MP3 or a file in Real Media format would be fine for most, I would imagine.

Max,
Decision-by-committee is always dodgy (gee whiz, I really love that word ), but from what I can distill from all the suggestions, it looks like, yes, it befalls you (and I for one can't think of a better guy, time zones notwithstanding), to start the thread, on your March 14. I hope you will indeed rise to the occasion, else we might have 16 different threads all started at once.
After you have begun the -- how did shanks put it -- gout-ridden-geezer's toasts, then you might start a party thread, too. Seems that what was sort of decided, two threads: one for succinct elegies and the other for fun 'n' games.
Do you agree to undertake this mission?
PLEASE????

Was there a max dismay'd?
Not tho' the jester knew
Some one had blunder'd:
His not to make reply,
His not to reason why,
His but to do and die:

alea jacta est, morituri te salutant.

Thanks!!
... and fear not, this River Rubicon is not too deep, nor these Pompeys so great.

I'd just like to remind all y'all living on the western US coast and out there in the Pacific this side of the International Date Line that you have to wait your turn to post. It would be what, only about 2:00 in the afternoon (14:00) on the 13th in Hawaii when Max posts at 9 in NZ? Just make sure you hold your urges to post early. That wouldn't be fair, now would it?
