Although I'm currently on an extended break from Spelling Bee, I can say that their dictionary periodically drove me to extended internal ranting. I would never play the game again if they took off points for wrong guesses.
Longtime listener, first time caller here -- I just sent you a verbose email about the Jon Carroll blog issue. Commenting here just so you know it's not a rando spam email :)
That's not the same thing as having them on your own hard drive, but it works for me with the 17 years of good stuff aka "content" I created for About.com. (Much of my work is still up under my byline, but it's been edited/botched to the point that I hate to look at it. I bookmark the home page at the date they canned me.)
So much good stuff. Extra thanks for link to Carroll's pre-obit.
Thank you for facilitating Jon Carroll’s contributions to Oldster Magazine, Nancy!! 🙏🏻💝
Aw, thanks for the ink, Nancy.
All the news I care about and can stomach, I get from you.

Thanks, Andrew. Yes, the Internet Archive is a last-resort option. But not an optimal one.
Re Tracy’s pre-obit…..
I can only say….
I wish I felt loved like that, “however high the mountains get.”
May you rise in peace, Tracy.
Thanks, Beth.
