Re: [s-b] Proposal

["Aaron Coquet" <farfromunique@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that i failed to take into account the idea of a non-human sentient
being wishing to (or already being) a member. Thus, I submit the following
transaction:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
Withdraw proposal "Turing Test Disambiguation"
I submit the following proposal:

I hope that clears up any confusion. I did it as a transaction because I
couldn't figure out how to correct it without it being horribly complex.
