Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, rcburket, we’re glad to have you with us.
When you start a thread, it’s helpful to other readers if you provide a link to the Column upon which you’re commenting. Yeah it’s on the front page now, but it will soon be lost in the Archives. So, it saves lots of search time and helps keep us all on the same page if you provide a link in the first post.
