You might want to mention that it is only available on the main page, not the post page. I didn't find it the 1st time 2 days ago. Also, it looks like it needs a math lesson as it said one choice had 100% with 3 votes and another had 33% with 1. Huh?

BTW, I installed that link checking plug-in you mentioned a few weeks back a couple of days ago and so far it has found 697 broken links. Gah!

Try not to think of it as losing librarianship but as helping to bring us into the world of search and taxonomy; you know, where we "supposedly" are.
