Jeff, it is beginning to look like real censorship now.

First of all, I apologize for calling you "Brad" rather than "Jeff" in my last post. As you recall, in that post I asked why the Petition to Keep the Real SI thread was not on the Beta site's Hot List, even though it was No. 1 on the Classic site's Hot List.

Since other "hot" Coffee Shop threads were also not listed on the Beta site's Hot List, I assumed the Petition thread had been excluded only because somebody somewhere had made the decision that only stock threads would be permitted onto the Hot List. Here are several more posts questioning that decision:

But then I saw this post, which reveals that the Petition thread is the only "hot" thread missing from the Hot List that Go2Net posts on its own home page:

Of course, we could say that what Go2Net does on its own home territory is its own business. And the Petition Thread admittedly does not do much for its image.

But look at this. A supportive thread -- the Petition Forum -- was launched in the IPO forum, which, technically, makes it a "stock thread." Again, it's on the Classic site's Hot List -- but not on Beta's.

As I noted, this comes perilously close to censorship. What is really up?

And finally, a completely different question. I should like to know what has happened to the Clubhouses. They too have disappeared from the Beta version. I posted Bryan B. about this, but no response so far.

Thanks for your attention.
