According to my count, I have a margin of 3 more lines so as long as Weng (I think that's what David said he was called) doesn't give us "War and Peace". I should be okay. The more serious question is - does he count for the purposes of a RAP CD? David says he's a lurker but that means he's not gonna show up in the archives so how do we know? The other problem is deciding if he's good enough. If he generates a sizeable chunk and we apply the collective editorial process we're never gonna get this project finished. I expect 8 votes one way or the other by Monday, guys.

d00d, I'm alive to the "in for a penny, in for a pound" bit, but this whole thing "jest growed" well beyond /my/ attentions.
What I saw (poorly if at all; I din't even know it was a Group Project) overall was rather in the nature of Folk Art (if this is an ".mp3 project" in any sense), and I'm simply too damned formal if serious, and a parody even of myself if not, for the Folk Thing (happened in the Folk Music Era, too).
If you need some sort of "vote" from me, just put "abstain" where needed and use whatever you used where you used it. I'm not gonna gut the project by pulling out even if I wasn't really "in."

C'mon Dennis - for Christ's sake, pick a side - i'm drowning here! If you remember, I didn't want a Brit to be Editor for our first project but I got outvoted. Abstaining is too easy man - if you're not prepared to be counted, we're gonna end up in a world where Dockery's unspeakable *** is considered a poetry CD!

JeeZ, d00d, we're already /there/, no?
I'll vote against that any day, even though it appears to have me voting "for" some rather peculiar companions on occasion.
No sweat, either; it's already my job.
I seem to've been in for my Penny on a number of poasts already, anyway.

I don't envy the EiD (you?) at all; I'd already noted that the fragments (if so they are) are, well, /fragmented/.
No despair, though; I'd also already noted several, well, "solderable joints" already. Parme for thinking them incomplete segues.
The Ring wasn't built in a day.
