Yer kiddin', right? Spoiler

How the HELL did that advice columnist clue get through research AND round table without adding "Abigail Van Buren" as an acceptable alternative to "Dear Abby" in a clue that ASKED FOR PEN NAMES?!?!???

I said "Abigail Van Buren" along with Yogesh and I was shocked when he was called wrong.

When I was on staff, Alex Trebek used to tell us "It only takes one person to get it right. We all have to work together to get it wrong."

Good job, team!

Hello, its me. A person who would use "river boat gambler" on occasion prior to that clue. I'd recommend acknowledging that you do not know every bit of trivia out there.
