Travis Finucane9:11 AMI would like to be able to test your setup on pipes

Travis Finucane9:11 AMcould you give me the feed URL?

[redacted]@ymail.com9:11 AMsetup?

[redacted]@ymail.com9:11 AMThere must be something I am missing.

Travis Finucane9:12 AMon the edit pipes page, are you using the Fetch Feed source?

[redacted]@ymail.com9:12 AMYes

Travis Finucane9:12 AMif so, could you give me the url you're inputting in that source?

[redacted]@ymail.com9:17 AMThank you anyway. It seems that I wont be able to use it.

[redacted]@ymail.com9:17 AMHave a nice day :)

Travis Finucane9:18 AMhm. Sorry I couldn't help you. Sometimes if you start with a new pipe, whatever transient problem is happening with pipes will go away.

The Straight Dope: Are smaller elementary-school class sizes better?

I think the question Cecil answers is "Are relatively smaller elementary school classes a cost-effective way to get better standardized test scores?" Though he pretends to claim common sense says "no", his answer appears to be is "I don't know"...

My new buddy

Glad to help a guy catch some z's.
