I’ve already emailed **TubaDiva** a day ago, but just in case the email didn’t get through (Hotmail was a bit flakey) – there’s a broken link to one of the threadspotting threads in the archive on the main site. This:

> [@](#):
>
> We will fight them on the beaches. (Submitted by What Exit?)

goes just to [this “Not found” message.](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361028) A fairly recent thread too, by the looks.

Only found it one night when I was a bit at a loose end and was flicking through the list. I don’t know if there are any others like that.

I see the problem. This is what shows up in my address bar when I click on the link: [http://www.straightdope.com/columns/boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361028](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361028)

when it _should_ be [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361028](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=361028)

Yup, that’s what I figured. Typo, or copy/paste error, maybe.

Just don’t get them wet or feed them after midnight.
