Come on y'all this is
embarassing. I don't think anyone would appreciate getting their religion bashed this way and Mormon's LOVE that man. Believe me, I know some. Totally uncalled for.

Minor usability quibble: When you're looking at who favorites a post, and click a username, it shows their favorites instead of showing their profile page, like every other linked username on the site does. Maybe a different link to show their favorites from that page?

The bastard offspring of
New Age,
Techno,
Industrial and
Acid House,
trance is one of the most
popular and most
maligned musical genres of the 21st century.
Trance can be
bombastic or
delicate,
psychedelic or
rock and roll,
spacey or
deep,
euphoric or
dark,
commercial or
underground,
lush or
funky,
melodic or
monotone,
hard or
laid back.
You can try making some yourself with this
toy, or go in depth with this
tutorial. You can find it
online, but if you want to really experience it, you need to
hear it at a club.

Is it possible to sort or filter 'users near me' by fields besides distance? Such as 'number of comments/favorites/posts' or 'since last activity' or anything else, really.

Is there anyway to make K-Cup coffee not taste like dishwater? We have a Keurig machine at the office and it makes just barely tolerable coffee. Are there any flavors out there that actually make a good cup? Are there any settings on the machine you can fiddle with?

Is there a complete list somewhere of all the 'affiliate' Metafilter sites like Monkeyfilter, Metachat, Sportsfilter, etc? What official relationship do they have with the main site, if any? Is there an official policy on creating your own *filter site? Encouraged, frowned upon?
