Hi marginmike, not sure if we are talking about the same thing here but:

If you look at the open interest in the S&P futures among the commercials, the commercials actually have a HIGHER percentage on the short side this week over last week even though the net short position of the total number of contracts decreased.

The net short position is simply the total number of commercial longs subtract the commercial shorts. This gives us the net short position of 69K. However if you look into the numbers, the commercials who reported they were long the S&P contract reduced their long position. The commercial shorts also reduced their position.

The ratio of shorts to longs actually went UP among the commercials even though the net short position decreased.

However, I have no idea if this means a damn thing.
