>Jo (aka jmh) has agreed to be Madam Chairman!
No, I think we've gone for the usual anarchy instead.

Small suggestions.
Could we put the date in the thread header name *and* for each individual post? i.e.
Happy Birthday AWAD, 15 March 2001
That way, should The Great Anu deign to print it out the correct date would be on each message. This would also make it easy when Anu gets next year's greetings, and next, and next and ...
Posters might also consider a "dateline" to start the body of the post to make it easier for viewers to see the sequence on posts. Like news stories start.
New Zealand -- Happy birthday etc.
Was there ever any question that Jackie is the one to draw The Wonderous One's attention to the thread?
Respectfully submitted
wow

Good evening, Shabbat Shalom, and now the results of the Israel jury... whoops, sorry... YES Israel will join in - but as is the norm for me, I will answer with a question: if we are all going to post according to where we fit +/- GMT, shouldn't we perhaps have a particular time (in our own zone) at which we will do the duty? I'm at GMT+2... in other words, should I post at dawn, 7am... or when exactly would everyone propose, in order to make it truly an around the world (in order....  ) thread??? Shoshannah

Just wait until calendar March 15 in your time zone.

To repeat myself : this is where and why the "dateline" to start each story would be handy ....

Tsuwm, as "the computer" attempts (albeit unsuccessfully) to eliminate paper (HA) you'll eventually (HA) have to get the "quilt-out" out and edit your quilt. They may replace cursive, but never a hand written "thank-you" note... I guess hand typed will do.[SIGH] My computer and I are starting the celebration early by going out for a few pints tonight, anyone interested  .

Sounds like a plan. Know a decent piano bar where we could sing along while wetting our whistles?

I think the idea of a thread to send to Anu is great. Here are a couple thoughts of mine.
Each persons post should exemplify their personality over the past year.
Perhaps everyone should try to post at the same time in their respective time zones so they all come in about an hour apart. Most of you seem to be at work when you post, so would some time around 9:00 be good for everyone? (9:00 to 10:30 is pretty much the only time I have access to a computer at school.)
I think the header for each post after the first should be the city from which you are posting. (ie. Wellington, New Zealand" ; "Cincinnati, Ohio, USA") Also, each person should probably reply to the initial post so they're all in a straight line in threaded view.
And finally, I think everyone should conclude their post with their board name, real name, and date and time of joining.
