Just came across this Times page that lists among its New York Mets resources a certain Forum as well as a certain Database (and a certain blog). Nice to see they're keeping up with "fit to print [or post]" jazz.

Re: Resourceful

i'd like a cool badge, maybe a decoder ring, and a formal ceremony with undue levels of pomp and circumstance.

i've preemptively taken the liberty to report an error using such a function on the nytimes page. i can't wait to get that badge.

Re: Resourceful

There's a report an error link. I sent a message referencing the
url to their page and asked them to change CPF link to the new
url. Will be interesting to see if they do it.

OE: I see I just did what mm did (I read the thing earlier and just

I have. You have to go into the Baseball Forum, click on the first topic which is "NEW FORUM ADDRESS" and follow the link.

Great, now those sophisticated NYTimes readers will be able to find this place just in time to check out our ultra-gay 'Sound of Music' thread plus the one where repeatedly list boobs and vaginas on our 'Most Awesome' lists.
I couldn't be more proud.
