Nice. Looks like someone is hoping MetaFilter will do the legwork and supply supporting documentation.

Got a paper to write or something, srs? Didn't feel like researching it yourself?

I'm going to give srs the benefit of the doubt and say he probably just misunderstood what makes a good FPP.

If srs makes it over here:
A good FPP isn't just an interesting topic for discussion but a link or links to sites/pages/articles that are interesting, entertaining and/or informative enough on their own to be considered "the best of the web."

srs has only these two posts in his or her history. Does look somewhat self-seeking, if not self-linking.

maybe srs is schizophrenic and posted on both sites not knowing the other half had. Or blind and hit the wrong button.

I think it stands well alone, and that other people will share useful links in the thread.

A single link to a $40 research paper with nothing more than a 3-line abstract does NOT stand well alone.
