Awesome belated answer on obscure criminal case

June 26, 2006 7:10 PM

About 14 months ago, I posted a random Ask Metafilter about an obscure criminal case and described it in weak detail. Today I was going through some of my old questions (as you do), and noticed that the question was answered beautifully about three months ago by someone who may have ponied up the membership fee just to answer it. Which is really neat. So I just want to point out how cool it is that someone should do that.

That is both cool and neat. It's an askme exacta.

That's really cool. The knowledge pool of this place is ridiculous.

This thread needs more Naomi Watts banging.

Paying for the opportunity to answer a question. It gives me the tingles, I tell ya!
