On shore. Enjoyed this meta and the virtual group outing at the Q&A earlier today.

Was this one designed to keep recent arrivals from getting discouraged and dropping out? Also, it's similar to the kind of thing PB does in his other puzzles; in this space it's closer to a Mike than a Matt.

It might be an easy one ahead on next week's puzzle by Matt. His tester (AG) made a comment in in the Q section at the end of today's Q&A that I took as an ominous sign about the difficulty of Matt's puzzle for next week.

Can't believe I'm ashore this early! 🎉 And this time I'm sure of my answer for a change.

Made much more time than needed for this one. Now to the recording of the meta discussion, if I can find it.

Ashore. I almost forgot there was another WSJ meta today after doing the one for the call this morning. Fun one - Patrick Berry never disappoints!

....and congrats to Meg on the mug!

With that link above, I think you do. Notice the word "accounts."
But I copied a link when I got there, pasted in another, browser, did not sign in, and it worked.
