Harfy proposals are *not* nessassarily proposals that should or will pass - an excellent example of a harfy proposal that should _fail_ was P1955 (Binary Me). If harfy proposal were defined as having to be 'likely to pass' then it would be certain that there wouldn't have had as many (138) harfy proposals.... as it is less than half (56) of all harfy proposals have passed anyway.

K 2 No! He's going to share the Harf! not a sausage. Bugger all. Why just yesterday he sent some harf to the burning witch. JT The accumulation of money is a great evil and a burden to the soul. else...if Burn the witch! It was obviously in violation! O Olde Alpha Yes! He's an autonomous collective! Burn him! BLIMP Therefore, by a vote of 1-0, O Olde Alpha is convicted of Hogging the Harf and is burned as an autonomous collective. Unforunately, this makes *me* Harfmeister, and means I actually have to check the Proposal queue. JT, else...if and O Olde Alpha are to be congratulated on their ability to form aggregates of different Hearing responses. BLIMP is to be congratulated on eir ability to make me laugh until I fall off my laundry basket. I gift each of them A$0, which is, I believe, a significant fraction of my total A$ -- 0. While I'm here, I point out that the The Really Big Blue Thing That Doesn't Do Too Much, Really has not been used for over a week. -Hubert Heisenberg might have slept here. ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Re: Acka: Nothing Much, Really Date: Mon, 08 Feb 1999 14:44:09 -0500 (EST) On Mon, 8 Feb 1999, Eric Plumb wrote: >While I'm here, I point out that the The Really Big Blue Thing That >Doesn't Do Too Much, Really has not been used for over a week.

You missed 3935...

However, just in cast that didn't work, I point out that it hasn't been used in a week. The RBBT is transfered to me. I point the RBBT at Eric., and provide the anagram 'rice', and press the button marked Energize. Now, either the earlier attempt worked, or this attempt did. Either way, rice now has the RBBT and is named rice. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: "Gavin M.
