I follow the Piglet every year and enjoy it. One thing I've never understood - why are there always these useless intro pages like this that you have to click on to get to the review? Why doesn't the link on the Piglet page just take you right to the review?

Thanks for reading, and for the feedback, James F.! These intro pages make it so that the Piglet posts can aggregate and appear in various online RSS feeds. But your point is taken; we're planning to start linking straight to the judgments on the homepage every morning, so you'll be able to automatically click through from there. Thanks again.
