I’ve wanted to look up some of Cecil’s columns in the archives and cannot figure out how to do so. In the past I could just go to the Straight Dope Home page and click on archives but now it seems that the home page is just the forums page. Am I doing something wrong or are the archives no longer available? ---

Are you sure you’re going to [www.straightdope.com](http://www.straightdope.com) instead of [boards.straightdope.com](http://boards.straightdope.com) ? ---
