By which I mean "huh, pb has his work cut out for him when he finally wakes up."

I wish, I wish, I wish,
I wish that I was popular.
I wish, I wish, I wish,
I wish that I was popular.

I wish I was a fireman
And drove a big old firetruck.
And had a dog with spots, and beer
And firemen friends who gave a fuck.

Does the borkedness of Popular really necessitate a discussion? Wouldn't an email to the admins have made more sense?

It's about time! Those popular comments are always getting all the attention, now it's time for us mundane comments to rise up and take over the school!

Who's with me?

Just to clarify a bit what amro's getting at here: If you click on the Contact link in the bottom right corner of any MeFi Universe page, lo! a contact form is presented. Once you complete the captcha and click "Send" your message is automatically emailed to mathowie, jessamyn, and cortex (and pb?). I've used it a number of times to report bugs with very, very fast results. Recommended! It is also good for getting an admin to fix something (a link, misspelling, etc.) you borked on a post. Keep in mind it's not MeFi Mail, and you'll get your response via the email you have on file with the site. mathowie usually kicks back a simple "Fixed!" and all is right with the world.

The admins all get notified when you post to MetaTalk, so it's debatable which is more effective. And posting it here should prevent other people from reporting the same bug, which is a benefit.

OTOH, I didn't realize there was a proper contact form now. It used to be you had to trawl through the FAQ to find mathowie's email address.

Uphill both fucking ways.
