That’s because “Comments on Mailbag Answers” is now “Comments on Mailbag Answers or Staff Reports.” ---

I’d like it to show links to the week’s Cecil and mail bag pages. ---

Not feasible. But all you have to do is click the link at the bottom of every Straight Dope Message Board page, the one that says “Straight Dope Homepage.” Thanks for the suggestion. your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

This is the most pathetic example of post count padding that I have ever seen. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Drain Bead \* > \*\*This is the most pathetic example of post count padding that I have ever seen. \*\* Are you referring to my OP, and the bet that I had with **Satan**? If so, please note the time/date of the OP: it was before the Giants/Eagles game, so it might’ve been padding my post count, but it wasn’t because of the bet. The purpose of the OP was to beat the mods to the punch in announcing the new name of the forum, and to solicit discussion of the name change. If you weren’t referring to my OP, Drainy, nevermind. 🙂
