It's sappy, but it's serious. Let's also do some polls. The answers to these are all grey-scale relative "kinda-sorta" in truth, but I'm going to "cap" the Law of the Excluded Middle on "yo' ass" in an "is you is or is you ain't my baby"-type scenario, not least in an attempt to see where people do draw the lines. Ignore communities and syndicated feeds; assume all questions are asked explicitly without regard to any factors which are not explicitly mentioned. You can always μ in the comments to unask badly-formed questions; the comments explaining the lines drawn are often as interesting as the decisions themselves. All info in confidence.

Unrelated, geekycool: I had a Crystal-Dome-from-The Crystal Maze dream last night; today, I discovered that EasyJet are running a Crystal-Dome-like "grab tickets from the wind machine" promotion in Euston Gardens, central London tomorrow. London folk, go have fun there for me. Unrelated two: first snow!
