There's a typo in the title ("Open Threat").
wow. I can't believe how I keep being wrong at this. This has to be at least the 10th one I have submitted...
I dunno, I liked it better as Open Threat. ;-)
Would have liked it even better as Open Treat.
Are you in distress?
heh. No, but thank you for your concern.
I like the way you think and feel.
Yeah, it sort of irks me: it should be always "Open thread, mmm dd - mmm dd, yyyy", and yet every time is something different X-D
I thought Elo submits the open threads via a scripted cron job - am I wrong? (and if I am, would that not be a good suggestion?)
what? No. I do them manually. As did MrMind before I realised I was in an earlier timezone for posting them...
Then yet another feature for LW 2.0: open threads published with cron. (I'm assuming that you're not familiar with wget/curl so there wasn't even a manual script written)[1]
[1] You can also use Python or some other language in a similar tier.
it's certainly possible to auto publish them but by removing the manual process you distance the community from self supporting - I definitely hung around more from the day I started creating open threads... I also messaged MrMind and various others since that day.
