You're right. Upon investigation, it seems that the headers got messed 
up in the message I was replying to (or before that message),populating 
the "reply-to" header with the discussion list and your e-mail address.



Thanks very much on the pointer about the register!

In terms of the common definition for "declare", it makes perfect sense.
In fact I called a CFJ on a similar issue (substituting "state" for
"declare") a couple weeks back, but I'm realizing it's not in the Gazette.

D. Margaux, did the following CFJ get missed or am I just not finding the 
assignment?

text "declared as eir Agoran Birthday" in Rule 2585 should not be
interpreted as referring to the ordinary English verb "declare",
because anyone with common sense would understand that it's intending
to refer to the regulated action defined in the previous sentence, and
Rule 217 says we should augment the rule with common sense if it's
ambiguous.

Does that all make sense? Or is this a wrong or misleading way to look

Welcome, Falsifian!  Good test of new rule - nice beginning!

In general, when a rule says "a Player CAN [verb] with Agoran Consent", it

Similarly, if it was "can declare by announcement" then e would do it by
announcement.

This is what is meant by "only using the methods explicitly specified in the
Rules" in Rule 2125.

Interestingly, if the rule said "declare" and didn't have one of the Rules
methods in addition, then it's not clear how you would do it.  To interpret
it, a judge would probably use the common (dictionary) definition of
"declare" (as per R217), and it's not clear whether, as a result,
"declare" on it own would mean to publish it, or just say it out loud (i.e.
literally declare it to yourself), or what.  So you'd be spot-on with your
arguments in that case.

Under the rule, I believe that a player CAN declare a date to be eir birthday 
only “with Agoran Consent,” which is a particular method of taking actions 
described in Rule 1728 that requires that you first announce your intent to 
perform the action, and give players an opportunity to support or object to it, 
and the action is permitted only if more people support than oppose. So based 
on that, I think the CFJ is FALSE, and I judge it that way unless there is 
something I am missing.

I initiate a CFJ for the statement "It is Falsifian's Agoran Birthday today
(the day beginning at midnight UTC on February 13, 2019).".

Here is my argument:

1. I declared earlier in this message that is my Agoran Birthday was one
year ago. This is a simple matter of fact that anyone reading this can
verify. The rules cannot change this fact.

2. The day I first registered is unknown, because I haven't told anyone.
For example, as far as anyone else knows, I might have first registered a
very long time ago under a different name.

3. Rule 2585 says: "As long as the day a player first registered remains
unknown, it is considered to be eir Agoran Birthday on the anniversary of
the day e most recently declared as eir Agoran Birthday.". Based on my two
earlier points, then, today is the anniversary of my Agoran Birthday.
