OFF TOPIC Bob, I'm curious about something. I always assumed that the first 1-10 "Hot Subjects" was basically the same on both the member page and non-member, SI home page. Today I noticed something strange. Over a 4-hour period, when this thread "Discuss Year 2000 Issues" was ranked #7 on the SI member page ... it was never included as being in the top 10 on the non-member SI home page. "Top 10 Hot Subjects" on non-member SI home page was consistently the top 11 threads ... LESS "Discuss Year 2000 Issues", which was always excluded. I printed hard copies of both member and non-member "Hot Subjects" lists over this time period, because at first I thought this was my imagination, and this was very puzzling to me. Why do you think this happened? It couldn't have been based on "Hot Scores" because this thread was consistently ranked substantially higher than the #7-#10 threads listed on the non-member page. I could care less whether "Discuss Year 2000 Issues" is a "Hot Subject". But I am curious why/how this happened. Does SI edit the "Hot Subject" list on the home page? Is the query different? What's the deal? Just curious. Cheryl
