Steve,

The scripts section used to be divided up into categories when first entering that realm. Is there any chance of getting it back like that? It makes it easier to find a script.

Unless somebody knows of a better alternative...

Today I ran across the strangest threads I've ever seen here on SSC:

Want to buy a Ford car?

A sad story from Colorado

They don't seem to be automatic spam, but, evidently, have nothing to do with the forums they're in.

Strange world.

The first one should just get deleted. I'm not sure what the second one is all about. Interesting though.

Darn, I knew it was ready on Monday but couldn't get my blog post put together quick enough so I could break the news.

Congrats Roy! I hope it gets lots of air time. I'll still blog about it to try to push some eyeballs your way. It's a great article.

Missed the first one. The second was vanity press mis lit.

No man, it was profound, important, deep... I was touched. And I've reported them to the police too.
