[http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3\_028.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a3_028.html) (Does Smoking have any health _benefits_) makes the entire rest of the search list in italics because presumably the \<i\> tag isn’t closed. I didn’t know who to email it to, so I thought this might be an ok place, since it isn’t really a comment.

Good catch, but you linked to the wrong column. It’s [http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5\_096.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_096.html) . It has an \</em where it should have an \</em\> (em is for emphasis). If it doesn’t get fixed soon, you might want to email to [tubadiva@aol.com](mailto:tubadiva@aol.com) or [jdavis@chicagoreader.com](mailto:jdavis@chicagoreader.com)

I’ll take care of that right now, and thanks.

In the future just drop me an email for bad coding or broken links or the like, I’ll make sure it gets taken care of soonest. Jerry really is above all of that, he’s the Tech God, after all.

Ack, it appears my copying and pasting skills aren’t up to scratch 🙂 Sure, I’ll bug, err, email you with anything I find. Hopefully not much 🙂
