It might have something to do with the fact that you're not wrong (this time ;)

Yet after reading Todd's admonitions, I decided to see if I could come up with
a legal .QOTD from recent lugnet posts. Nothing struck me. Funny things are
certainly to found but lines like what Todd has suggested seem rarer to me.
This observation is neither a slam against anyone nor against the .QOTD group;
IMO it just means that one won't be posted everyday, and possibly much longer.

Possibly, I was expecting .QOTD to be more like .fun but certainly it ain't.
So maybe it's not a mistake. Maybe it just needs to sit and simmer a bit.
