I don’t know whether any of the staff know this, but none of the “Previous Week” links work at the bottom of the columns. [Here’s](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a991119.html) an example of what I’m talking about. Clicking the link gives a 404, as an “a” needs to be put before the page name at the end of the URL. ---

Both the top _and_ the bottom of the page have this fault with all the old-style links. (It’s the “Recent Column Index” link, as well.) Could this just be the 1999 columns with this problem? ---

Not sure. I’ll look into it. TubaDiva
