Thanks! Now I just have to figure what all these new buttons mean... Glad they're giving us a day of overlap before we're actually responsible for anything!

Hi! -- Glad to see another Sunday NYT headline question posted ;-)

I have a suggestion for the definition, based on previous "headlines"...

As it is now, it reads, "The "Front page headline" is defined as the text accompanying and displayed above the largest photograph..."

I'd suggest adding two words, "or below", so that it reads:

"The "Front page headline" is defined as the text accompanying and displayed above or below the largest photograph..."

That would eliminate any issue when the photograph is "flush top" as it was today.

If you think this is a good idea, would you send the suggestion/correction via a flag to the Category Editor?

Best wishes,

-Roger

You can take it as such as I'm always up for a challenge. It was more a wise crack at the moment though. :) I was just rather surprised to see we joined on the exact same day then to see that we appear to be about as active as one another with a similar dollar count as well. Maybe that was the day of the AP story I saw. There are folks that have done WAY better in less time than either of us.

Oops! I sent you a challenge on a question you alreqady have a position on. Sorry. :)
BTW - I'm winning. :) We joined on the same day & I'm not winning by much...

Be well,
Steve

I'm hoping that your picture is swlison jr. or something, 'cause if I just befriended a toddler on the 'net, I'm probably in trouble!

Hi,

I just left a comment in the NY Times question :-|

<http://www.hubdub.com/m8578/Will_the_first_letter_of_Sundays_New_York_Times_front_page_headline_be_a_vowel_or_consonant>

Trying to "predict" things seems to often be like trying to herd a dozen puppies into a box ....

Hey swilson, thanks for your challenge on the Movie Mistakes Question. Currently I cannot predict on it, because it's less than 12 hours old - and I am the question creator :)
