I presume that your problem is finding volunteers rather then finding entries, but I can see this becoming a regular feature with (rather a lot of) regular updating. A442333
I am going to point Jodan at this thread, because it is a project which he may enjoy. But I am sure there are others who would like to take it on.
Cheers

My mistake - I had thought I was a the Post Editors page not the page for the Post itself.
The link should take you to Lucinda's entry about 'The Meaning of Use-Names' which was a fun-project he had started a couple of years ago.
It seems a shame to let it whither and perish, but it needs to be current to be interesting. In fact, it needs to be on-going to be interesting.
I could envisage a regular (or irregular) column in the Post covering much the same ground, with analysis by much the same people. I know that Jodan has a considerable amount of time available, and is interested in the community, so I could see him co-ordinating analysers and analysees.
It would take a lot of effort by Jodan - and it needs to be something he is willing to do. So I drew his attention to it, and yours too Shazz, and I am letting the two of you get on with it.
The dumb thing was starting this thread on the Post page instead of the Post Editors page.

I'm not sure whether to or
at that remark about my free time. All personal issues aside, yes I have tons and tons of free time. I am willing, I don't really see a regular column though. It doesn't fit with some of the standards (Dare I say ambiance) of The Post
and, secondly DON'T LEAVE ME BEN! I'm intimidated by Shazz!

Intimidated by me?!!!
I'm sure that Ben will vouch that I'm pretty harmless - and sometimes the worse for
We have a rather special edition coming out this week so I'm a bit inundated with work - especially as Greebo has computer problems, but I'll make a note of this convo and get back to you.

Not so much intimidated as in fear, but by the title. Editor of The Post. It's very official sounding

Promises... promises...
I stumbled across this looking through the old messages of my personal space. And now I feel like this conversation was so very immature of me and for the record, I'm no longer intimidated by you shazz,
My point is... I don't really know , but it has something to do with apologizing for my behavior... or something
By the way, this week's edition looks nice so far from the titles of your 'Most Recent Guide Entries'

Ah yes - and that is all you can see at the moment eh? Poor Greebo is ill, so I am doing it all and making sure nothing leaks before I allow it to!
Of course, this could mean it is somewhat later than normal - depending on how quickly I can put all the articles back again and assemble the Front Page.

Thanks. Just so you know, the blurb thing for Underneath the surface "The Adventures of Jimmy - Part One" in it's archives is keeping me occupied, and rereading the announcements section.
And hitting the refresh button on A1044109 and A1019314...

I have to look at it in the morning... I don't have proper time in the morning, especially with the double grunt!
And you're not online
