Angie Thieriot writes to ask for information on the intriguing-sounding topic of \"Persian Enigmatists.\" If anyone has pointers to such information, send them to me and I'll pass them along.<\/p>\r\n
Also, I note that column r is by far<\/em> the most-accessed column I've written; it's received about four times as many hits as any other column here. As far as I can tell, this is due to a popular search engine returning a link to this column when asked for riddles. Back in December, Calvin Lee asked me, incoherently: \"can you cange the riggles???\" I assume he thought that I intended to update this column with new \"riggles\" every so often, which indicates that he hadn't read anything else on this site. I was particularly amused a couple weeks later when he wrote to tell me, \"im getting very bored of the olg riddles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\" I dropped him a note asking what he was talking about, and never heard from him again.<\/p>\r\n At any rate, it's pretty clear from the access stats that most people who find that column never even make it to this comments page. Alas. I certainly don't object to this column's popularity, but I'm a little disappointed by it; this is far from the best of the columns, so I would hope interested parties would look at a couple of more recent columns before giving up in disgust. Oh, well.<\/p>\r\n (Last updated: 17 March 1998)<\/p>\r\n
