Well, at least we can’t fault the OP for not including the link.

**a1isondre** , welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, we’re glad you’ve found us. For future ref, we like to include a link to the column in the opening post (for convenience of other readers), rather than in the thread title (which can be confusing.) No biggie, I’ve edited for you, and you’ll know for next time. And, as I say, welcome!

PS for everyone - The column is from 1994, so a trifle old.
