You should see the ads in the extasy column....
From Chambers' (British) Dictionary:
"agony column, the part of a newspaper or magazine in which readers submit, and receive advice about, personal problems; the part of a newspaper containing special advertisements, eg for missing friends etc."
Or desperate appeals to superheroes, if you've got the money.
IN other words, an early form of blogging.
Interesting, indeed! Who says we don't learn stuff here?
Hm, I always assumed when Sherlock Holmes read the agony column that it was just the same as the classifieds. Thanks for the clarification, anon!
