I have been visiting this site daily for years, which is why I am so disappointed that they just started doing mischief.
When one visits the site a spam window opens behind the main window so that when you close the main window, there's the spam window. This is virus-like action.
STAY AWAY.

This site should be avoided at all costs. The site compiles browser history of any viewer, thus is very unsafe to view:

In other words, they don't like Nazis. The Straight Dope is irreverent, well-moderated, eclectic and literate. Maybe that's why the previous reviewer didn't last very long.

Site of long time columnist Cecil Adams daring to answering ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING.
Warning, not 100% suitable for kids, though I think was probably a teenager when I discovered Cecil via the book: The Straight Dope.
