Practical question: Is there any possible way to
get to this club by typing something into the URL
box? Every time I want to get to it on a public
computer, here are my steps:
1) Type in
"<a href=http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/quizbowl target=new>http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/quizbowl</a>"
2) It waits a little while and says "Club is not
found."
3) Click on the link to "search for clubs"
4)
Type in "quizbowl"
5) It brings up a list of clubs,
including quizbowl and, lately, "qbtuggers" (??)
6)
Click on "quizbowl"
7) It takes me to
"<a href=http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/quizbowl target=new>http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/quizbowl</a>"

Now, I don't know anything about computer science, but
I've never seen another website with such a simple
address (no punctuation marks, or question marks, or odd
extensions, or any randomization or indication that it's the
response to a query, which this website isn't anyway) that
nonetheless could not be typed in and had to be reached by
linking. It works fine as a bookmark too. Is there
something else one can type in?

to Jon of Pitt:
looks like even with all the panicking, ours is the
only Pitt packet in. 
whew anyway.
