Qwerty, what are you doing? lol.  

Thinking ... 

Does the link work for you?

ooooh, I like that

I think the mission statement is great! Thanks again to Mendalla, Pinga, and chansen for all the work that is going into this.

Those are good qwerty. I like almost all of them. I think for WC2, I'd pick "real spirit in a virtual community".

*shyly, hangs head shuffles feet* yes, thanks you guys you've really done a lot of work.

I added more "thoughts" to my link ...

I think it is a poem, qwerty.

Your welcome, Kimmio

With appreciation for the three amigos and unreserved support of the consensus.

Sounds good to me - thanks for your capable work guys.

Thank you, Three Musketeers!

WonderCafe2 is a home for open-minded discussion and exploration of spiritual topics, moral issues, and life's big questions.  It is designed to reflect the key qualities and values of the original WonderCafe site www.wondercafe.ca 

I think the last clause was redundant. The above should be enough.

hah, hadn't noticed we put open-minded in their twice.

Thanks for catching that, Arm. Unless there are other changes, I think we will use your version. More succinct, too, once the redundancy is gone.

Mendalla

Reviewing the thread, I want to recant my use of "three amigos" where others used "three muskateers". The latter has strong positve connotations and the former is just silly.

George

Actually, I like the Three Amigos. I want to be Steve Martin.

Mendalla

Either is better than the 3 little pigs!

Or three blind mice...!

Why not the Three Wise Men.

Ooops, one is a woman!

How about the three tenors. Is that you Pinga- a tenor?

I have sang with the tenors...though a woman's voice has a different timbre and I would normally be classified as an alto.

of course you have heard of the story of what if the three wise men were three wise women.

okay stop already

I'm a baritone of the "flee, flee immediately if you value your sanity" variety.  I love music but can't sing to save my soul.

Back to Qwerty's link.  Qwerty, I really think that could be a poem. would be interested in seeing you work it.

I like this line...it holds true for me"... real spirit in a virtual community"

(I also am a big fan of the use of ellipsis)

Qwerty

I know you  a shy humble fellow so I shall print your suggestions in their entirety for those who haven't opened your link posted  up above.  Not everyone chooses to open links.

 Julie Andrews and I  think these  suggestions are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. A few of them could  be used.

Sh..sh.....Qwerty's shy....he might run......................................>>>>>>>>> and hide under the bed.

I like the way you've framed that, qwerty.

Motheroffive

Hello...Hello....so nice to see you. Grab a cushion and sit on the floor here beside me. We'll watch what's goin' down on the WC .

Hi motheroffive. Welcome back! Hope you'll be with us in the new WonderCafe.

Thanks very much, stardust and Arminius! It is my intention to get involved "over there", wherever that may be.

Just a quick update. Life intervened so I have not had time to completely review the thread and prepare a final draft. I'll shoot for doing it on my lunch hour today, after which there will be a vote on that final text. So, you still have until noon to review the draft text in my OP and get suggestions in.

Mendalla

life is good, Mendalla.  (ps, did I say that the good thing about our working together is that I can spell Mendalla correctly (well, most days))

The final draft and the vote to approve it is now up. See:
