Why do we need this page? We have the the site updates pages and every email have it's date in the actual page. E.L. Cool 13:55, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I would also like to question the need for this page. -- Tom 21:05, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I think it should stay. Looking around, I see that we have:
- Strong Bad Email By Length
- Strong Bad Email By Name
- Strong Bad Email By Place
- Strong Bad Email Intros
- Strong Bad Email Page Titles
- Strong Bad Email Raps
- Strong Bad Email Release Dates
- Strong Bad Email Statistics
Which is to say, whenever you have a large amount of data, there are several valid ways of organizing it. I like these pages because you never know when you're going to need to isolate a particular bit of info. As a knowledge base, if someone has done the research and compiled a list, it's handier to keep it than throw it away. For example, this particular page is useful when discussing the question: "The Paper is scheduled to be replaced in sbemail #173; given the rate emails have been released since montage, when will this occur?" (answer: about February 2007). Or: "How many emails to date (whose dates are known) were not released on Monday?" (answer: 18). — It's dot com 22:15, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
