MeTa post: Should or shouldn't
Ask designers if things needs to be redesigned: they will say yes.
Ask a barber if your hair needs to be cut: they will say yes.

MeTa post: Mustn't offend China!
When I read that question I immediately turned to the greatest hits collection of Paul Stanley's stage-banter, "People Let Me Get This Off My Chest".

MeTa post: Utter tripe!
The only thing I thought of when I read this was Tadpole, starring Lilith from Cheers, the Alien lady, and the guy from "The Hills Have Eyes" as a high school kid who quotes Voltaire.

MeTa post: Best Answers, STAT(s)!
They shouldn't put the number out there because people don't need to know who is winning Metafilter and getting upgraded to Metafilter Platinum Reserve, without having to purchase the Metafilter Expansion Pack.

MeTa post: R U A/S/L-compliant LOLOLOL
Should Matt do this, I think he should also update the time and date systems to be more inclusive of people who don't feel the need to succumb to the "traditional" Gregorian calendar hegemony or just choose to use more progressive calendaring and clock systems.

MeTa post: dateme.com
Oh my god... the person who favorited a comment is single... do they like me?... what if I post another comment and they do not like it?... I know, today I will post a comment in all lowercase, to show I'm casual, not uptight, just normal, right? But maybe that's too casual and it will put them off, like I'm some idiot who can't find the shift key. Maybe I'll post a response to an AskMe question about relationships, to show that I'm thinking about it - but not post an actual AskMetafilter... [more]

MeTa post: Talk about your missing periods!
Sometimes I'm really surprised that Matt hasn't gotten mad enough to replace the whole site with a picture of some hard disks being crushed under a truck tire and a message that says "metafilter's gone - for links go to kottke or something."

MeTa post: if you can't speak the language, don't.
How do you know if you can or can't speak a language if you don't try?

MeTa post: So, did you survive eating the sandwich?
He sold a "laptop" to an angry guy and when he received the 10 pound box of gravel, they found him and made him eat all of the gravel.

MeTa post: A hiatus isn't a moratorium, but it'd be nice.
I think MetaTalk posts should be submitted with MetaTalk Post Requisition Form 1001-A, "Application for the Public Airing of Grievances Against Another User"

Date:
Your username:
Which user(s) are you are complaining about?

(If you are not complaining about another user, you are using the incorrect form)

Posts/comments that you object to:

Possibly this?

Perhaps by "sex" he means "going to the bathroom"? I would guess that I go to the bathroom 12-14 times a week and I do enjoy it, though I am not overcome with an unusual desire to eat afterward - just my normal baseline Escalade-esque appetite.

MeTa post: Post-specific summary statistics....
A Gini coefficient of the comments would measure the relative concentration or dispersion of the comments in the thread to users.

The obvious solution is that for every change Matt makes or argument on MetaTalk, Metafilter should just split in two: one for people who agree and one for people who disagree. Orthodox Metafilter (orthodox.ask.metafilter.com) for 7 day Ask posting limits and Reform Metafilter (reform.ask.metafilter.com) for 14 days.

Then there's Eastern Reform Metafilter for people who want the old user pages and Western Reform Metafilter for people who like the new ones (and Unified... [more]
