Hey insom, this reminds me of your tag of the week. How did that end up going? I saw lots of #crimestories but didn't see a new tag. (I'm kind of okay with that. Hate to be a spoiler but somewhat indifferent to tag of the week and think that it is most likely to achieve success with certain guidelines that aren't in place and that users might find restrictive. I think the broader the tag the better; I'm not likely to go look for something specifically for tag of the week but if I'm already aware of something on a given topic I will post it. So if you pick a specific tag or one that a lot of users aren't interested in I think sometimes the tag will fail in popularity after a few days. Just my thoughts of course.)

    "I understand it's more like crapping a football than anything else," Dederich would say about childbirth in 1976

    It should be noted that I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the FBI for Dederich's file but was told that he had none

What?!
