Welcome to Homme, the men's conference.  The purpose of this conference 
is to provide a place to discuss issues which are of relevance to men.
Although topics may range from the serious to the perversely silly, as
with most Grex conferences, it is my hope that we can develop it into
a conference where we can talk about serious issues comfortably.  Also,
please avoid unnecessarily misogynist (and misandrist) comments.  All
are welcome to post and discuss.

At last! Finnally! It was about time! Thanks.

Oh, it will, it will.

Item is frozen

                NOT!!!

Who wants this item to be frozen?
/.

Why?  We can't freeze the welcome item; wouldn't be traditional.
It just ain't right, is all.

I agree with brighn.  What good is a welcome item if you can't
contribute to its drift?

Oh come on.  I was just having a little fun.  Can't you take a joke?

But it would be unique to freez a welcome item, wouldn't it?

I agree with ryan, it should be frozen.

Hi, Valerie and Ryan and Joker.  I just wanted to know what "freezing"
is and why it is done. btw-thanks for all the Support in the other conferences
too!  

Freezing is done when an item has become inflammatory, irrelevant to the
conference, or otherwise inappropriate to the spirit of the conf or to
Grex.  An item may be frozen either by the original entrant or by a
FairWitness for the conf (in this case, Jim, Ryan, or I).  When an
item is frozen, it can still be read, but no new responses can be made to 
it.  Items can also be completely deleted (or at least hidden from view).
One more reason foor freezing:  a FW may want to have an item that is
specifically updated only by the FW -- specs on the conf, for instance.
FuzCourt, for example, has a list of approved court members that only
King Fuzzy changes.  In these cases, the item is thawed, appended, then 
frozen again.
(Was that fairly accurate, those who know more than I do?)

I think that's pretty accurate.  I can think of an example that doesn't
fit any of your categories:  the 6-letter word game in the IQ & Language
conferences is on its third edition, because when the first two editions
approached 1000 responses they got really slow.  The first two editions
have been frozen.

Good point.  At least one item in Oathbound has gotten out of hand,
and should be frozen for the same reason.

Hmm, which item ere you referring to?

I dunno.  Maybe it's already been frozen.  "Meandering Maundering" I 
think it was.

It hasn't been frozen, merely sleeping. It's item #2, and over 1100... I
may freeze it and restart the item.  Wouldn't that almost be a first, 
resarting an item, I've heard of conference restarts, but an item?

No, that's the point -- items are regularly restrated when they get too
many responses.

hello

I don't think your advertizement in Agora has helped much...

<brighn pouts>

<jshafer thinks brighn spends WAY too much time in party>

I am not exactly sure if this conference is designed to discuss issues relevant
to men? I wanted to know if anyone had heard ofa prodict called Response a
natural homeopath?

Msimmons... that's exactly what this conf is for.
No, I haven't heard of that product.
What does it allegedly do?

I agree with #26, . I have not heard of it, but what does it do. Doesn't remove
hair does it?" done

Hi Larry, welcome to Grex!

Thanks--are you a veteran at this

done

It would be rather presumptuous of me to say I was a veteran.  But I have
been kicking around a little while.  Good luck learning Picospan, you seem to 
be doing pretty well!

Well, discussing whether or not we should freeze this item is very irrelevant.
Tho I really don't care.

The product was presenteed in a booklet for natural product. It stated that th
product was for the "nature" of the mature male. " ." help

Always like a woman, so agressive, butting in and all...
Not like us quiet guys, so very polite.  ;)

The fair witness welcomes you, Nephi.

Maybe the women would be a good source of "items" for men's issues.

Hi, I'm new.
Has anyone actually read this since April 7, or am I talking to myself?
Just wondering.
