[21:12:20] <chromas> Arthur needs to nest more blockquotes
[21:12:56] * Bytram is melting and it's not caused by proximity to water, either
[21:13:14] <Bytram> is 90F and about 80% humidity in my apt
[21:13:25] <chromas> I heard a wet blanket could hep
[21:13:44] <chromas> unless you're a kid
[21:15:10] * Bytram bears no relation to a young goat
[21:15:33] <chromas> bah!
[21:17:32] <Bytram> humbug!
[21:23:33] <Bytram> chromas: got a favor to ask.
[21:23:49] <Bytram> I just pushed out a story to give us some breathing space in the story queue
[21:24:09] <Bytram> otoh, I am finally on vacation (this week) and would really like to have some genuine down time.
[21:24:09] * chromas refreshes
[21:24:24] <Bytram> any chance you could push out a few stories? Please?
[21:25:18] <Bytram> I threw the last 9-10 story submissions into the queue so we had something to work with through the weekend...
[21:25:35] <chromas> Yeah, I'll shove 'em out
[21:26:05] <Bytram> (is very frowned upon for folk to approve their own sub, unless in extenuating circumstances.)
[21:26:09] <Bytram> yays!
[21:26:14] <Bytram> chromas++ TYVM!
[21:26:14] <Bender> karma - chromas: 32
[21:26:27] <chromas> Woohoo, power of two!
[21:26:51] <Bytram> oi, what a dweeb! I immediately recognized that as an ASCII space character.
[21:27:25] <Bytram> here, let me 'fix' that for ya.
[21:27:34] <Bytram> chromas++ now you have a pair!
[21:27:35] <Bender> karma - chromas: 33
[21:27:38] <chromas> d'aww
[21:27:43] <Bytram> lol
[21:27:53] <Bytram> again, many MANY thanks!
[21:28:06] <chromas> True but only the top brass do the frowning. I don't think anyone else cares
[21:28:21] <Bytram> is a matter of principles
[21:28:37] <Bytram> if we continue to follow that, it helps remove even the appearance of impropriety
[21:29:25] <Bytram> thanks again!
[21:29:27] <Bytram> laters!
[21:29:33] <chromas> It's not like we'd be pushing our own articles from other sites; it's just linking to random articles and blockquoting them
[21:29:39] <chromas> sea ja
[21:30:03] * chromas 's x froze up for no reason
