Argh... It seems clear what I must do but.... I just can't do it!
So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Fun mechanism and learned something new about the answer.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.
