When you work with the great folks I do every day it comes as little surprise that when the stuff hits the fan and some site is in need of help there will be a legion of folks who jump into round-the-clock action to get things in a better place. While this could be a whole blog post about that alone it's not about that. Rather it's about one of those nagging little problems we came across while working on a site this Thanksgiving "holiday".

I’m part of the team that develops Commons, the Drupal distribution for building vibrant community websites that competes in a marketplace dominated by proprietary vendors such as Jive and Yammer.
