Won't someone please register metafitler.com, with an autoforwarder to MeFi, to make my accidental keyboard dyslexian habits a little less deflating?

Is there something wrong with your credit card?

Very. Yours?

Someone should go buy MeatFilter as well.

Or, I could tell you how to make a bookmark for it. Or, if you're still using IE, a "favorite".

I guess having an actual homepage is so very 'last millenium'.

Save the file.

Don't listen to any of these silly suggestions. For 40.00 dollars an hour I will sit with you and type in all of your urls for you. Never suffer the pain of accidentally visiting metafitler again! Email me for exciting details!

And don't worry, you're not alone, armoured-ant. (I do it all the time too, on my weblog)

Haven't we done this before, say, four or five times? Yes, there are websites with similar spelling. Yes, people sometimes mistype Metafilter and end up on one of these sites. Yes, much hilarity ensue.

Chatty Kathy. Sheesh.

Simply type "m" and let the browser auto-complete it.
posted by kindall at 10:52 PM on April 5, 2003

My browser reacts very badly to "m".

That's not a browser. It's a demon!

Nothing. Around here, folk's butts are clenched so tight that nothing gets in...or out.
