Re Hot List. Let us not forget.....

"* Score is calculated from a trend analysis formula of bookmarks and posting activity. The percentage is roughly the increase in posting activity and bookmarking in the last 24 hours (vs. the last 7 days.)"

I am in no way defending "it" but do remember that the more certain threads are "talked about" the more people are apt to book mark them. For example, how many people do you suppose bookmarked the threads that the Count posted today...just out of curiosity? That could throw the balance way off. Can you imagine what the score would look like if they took into account the number of hits on a thread? <G>

If the "Hot List" is based on "bookmarking" those figures should be posted along with the number of posts.

Just a thought...
