Bring Me the Head of Pete McCutcheon

[akirlu]

...with a side order of Joel Rosenberg tartare.

liveavatar suggests in the comments thread to this post that those who loved Rasseff That Was might be well served by storming the Bastille and taking the fucker back by sheer numbers. I think that might work, if enough people went at once, and stuck it out long enough, and generated enough group policing fu. But I have no idea how much pent up demand there really is for such an assault. And I'm pretty sure I'm not, just now, the girl to tackle the project if it's going to require a lot of pep rallies and support wrangling. I am just a wee bit overcommitted at the moment, even as things stand. So I am starting a new post to see who all else out there is interested in such a project. Organizational volunteers especially welcome, but a gauge of enthusiasm (depth and breadth) would be good, too.

So, where are y'all at?

I never left rasff, but I'd be pleased to help.

I find it interesting

that you mention, by name, the person who Greshammed MnStf's Natter.

Not that I have anything useful to say on your proposal.

I've never left, and I'm even posting, so count on me.

Years ago, Himself got stuck on a panel about privitization of space. He was sitting between Joel Rosenberg and Neil Schulman when they damn near got into a fistfight.

It was...uhhmmmm...entertaining.

Yeah, that's the word.

I dip in and out, but I rarely have much to say and I've never been really recognised as a regular as such.

I'm in, too.

OK, OK. I could be up for re-kill-filing a lot of people. If nothing else it will amuse me.

When are we going? (Please let it be after Sunday.)

[filkerdave.livejournal.com]

I'm still there, so count me in!

[pecunium.livejournal.com]

I guess I can do the diddling required to restart a newsfeed, so when I get home, I'll try jumping in.

I'm still there. But then, I'm willing enough to talk politics that some people may view me as part of the problem, rather than as a potential part of the solution.

Well, find something more interesting to talk about and you can at least distract me. Or get people not to start political threads; I don't believe I *start* them, I just join in.

Deal me in.

[bohemiancoast.livejournal.com]

possibly. I need to find a newsreader. give me a day.

Oh, gawd... I hesitate because it's so hard for me not to be political these days. I can't see myself being able to avoid making things worse.

I ain't looked in on RASFF but one or two times in the last few years. I'm afraid I've totally got my RASFF freak off.

Sigh... I'll promise to look in on things and crack-wise a couple of times, if I can, in response to others involved in the invasion. It's hard for me to imagine not getting political on my own, though. About the only way I could do it would be to read for a few days and fill to the brim my kill-file before I even think about posting anything.

[daystreet.livejournal.com]

Heh. Come to think of it... I seem to recall a previous invasion of RASFF at some distant time and place...

I have little idea what the "old RASSF" is, but I dip in and out of the current RASSF as I have time. So throw me a bone here -- what are approximate dates between which the Google archive might best represent the spirit of old RASSF?
