**What???** And to think I just finished reading all columns since May 6, 1994… Now I have to read 10 years of _Straight Dope_? Here goes my social life for the next six months…

Get a program like Teleport Pro. Then you can download the complete website, pictures, links, messages, everything to browse offline…

Heh, I don’t think his problem is with offline vs online browsing, handy. 😉

In any case, I know how he feels. When I first stumbled upon the SD website, I had to read all the columns. Of course, since I had read several of the books already, some of it was repeated.

I felt the same way when they moved the message board to the website (never was an AOLer). Shortly thereafter, there were numerous posts. And I just had to read them **all!** Eep!

You think **you’ve** got it tough? I **am** an AOLer, and not only do I _have_ to read all the posts on the website, I have to read the AOL SDMB and SDMB2.
