What?  The links aren't working?  Again, you say?  Just what kind of cruel holiday joke is this anyway?
Doesn't MTLINCS know that its readers do not have time for that kind of thing during this time of year? 
 
Well, the links were checked - not once but twice,
To see which were naughty and which were nice,
They all seemed to be working very late at night
Until daylight broke - users emailed with might.
 
We can't see this; we want to read that,
Broken promises and links - not again - oh drat!
It must be the economy; the hired help is the reason,
Maybe it's not that; maybe it's just the season!
 
So once again, corrections are made,
Apologies are given, tension unfrayed,
And now you hear, MTLINCS yell with might
Happy Holidays, dear friends, and to all a good night!
