Is it my imagination, or has Crax been running a lot more flats "WNFR" than Sax did? Personally, I don't usually care for these, because (1) they don't feel quite fair to me -- if you don't catch what the flattist had in mind, there's often not enough to go on, and (2) they often feel like the flattist wussed out. ("Yeah, it was an amusing enough base to want to send it in, but not enough that I felt I could be bothered to write a couple of lines of doggerel.")
Certainly there are times when a base is so inspired and extraordinary that it deserves this kind of treatment --- Xemu's #42 from Nov. 2004 was elegant.
How do others feel?
