Gossipfilter? Is this appropriate for Metafilter, or should insomnia_lj just have his hot-tub party rights revoked?

Bug: old threads have the
poster username linking to the
thread with the same number as their usernumber.
Example (working).
Example (nonworking). Only in the post; the username links in comments are fine.

For the search page, how about at least one more option:
in the past 3 months. Maybe it's just me, but I seem to always be using it to find threads that are approximately six weeks old. A minor coding change, a major performance change.

Orthodoxy again rears its ugly head. Trolling is alleged
three times in a
row because the poster's views diverged from the Metafilter norm (and the poster was alleged to be
gasp repeatedly expressing similar views), with the worst
yet to come; another poster is called
blatantly biased and therefore "loses any credibility", and told "not to expect to be taken seriously" even though he has himself explained that bias and has been thoughtful and on point to discussion. Another was
recently called out for not leavening his posts with, well, other posts expressing a different viewpoint. Is this really contributory to open discussion and debate? Is it really now to be
verboten to express a point of view, especially in an FPP? Can someone join a discussion even though they have pre-existing views, whether they be based on bias or principle? Or are some on Metafilter simply annoyed by points of view they don't like?

New bug: metatalk comment previews don't work in Mozilla. I hit the preview button, and I get the "Comment Preview:" text, nothing, then links to the home pages. The page source says "error resolving parameter". (The previews work fine @ metafilter, and for metatalk *posting* like I'm doing now; and they all work OK in IE.)

Aiiee! Make it stop! Yet another
e-mail spam harvester posted for "discussion". These are generally tiresome and dangerously close to content-free sites that some schlub whipped up between smoke breaks -- the web equivalent of trolls. They're built with a content management system that automatically begs people to send it to friends, thereby collecting the e-mail addresses. And they don't belong on Metafilter. Or has Metafilter changed that much?

Signal-to-noise ratio declines. Especially in the
Falwell and
dead-or-alive threads, but elsewhere too.

Since there is a Seattle meeting brewing, I'd like to get a
Chicago Metafilter get-together in the works. One possibility is a poetry reading being given by
jason on 5/11, but then again we wouldn't get much of a chance to talk. (There was some talk of one last year that didn't get going, so I'll dig up that e-mail and send it around with a pointer to this thread.)

Maybe more of a feature request. Anyway, I find that Metafilter resets all too easily .. like if I hit back too many times, and realize I've gone offsite, and come back, I've lost all the "new post" indicators. Argh!
