Re: [s-d] [s-b] Consultation


I thought we had another mailing list for things like this. It was  
called spoon-calvinball. Or maybe we just discussed making such a list  
because we got tired of yelling at the calvinball players. Anyway, if  
it doesn't exist, we should make it exist, so that those who feel the  
need to play barely-related and intentionally silly games can do so  
without spamming those who do not.
