There seems to be a stealth list reordering going on the past few days by the deletion of leading low ASCII characters in thread titles.
This is one of those "change is bad" thingies to me. I am used to the old order, for instance, the * in front of Guidance and Visibilty bubbled it to the top, which I liked.
The process does not seem to be complete yet, the following threads that I have bookmarked still have low ASCII characters:
The ENRON Scandal 5027 Jan 09, 2004 "NanoTechnology" 380 Feb 11, 2004 "The Apprentice" Reality Show 53 8:42 AM (0) Shorting stocks: The root thread 39 Feb 08, 2004 (1) Shorting stocks: Broken stocks - Analysis 2506 Mar 19, 2001 (2) Shorting stocks: High fliers 708 Sep 25, 2000 (3) Shorting stocks: Mechanical aspects 172 Jun 12, 1999 * NetCurrents NTCS www.investorfacts.com www.auctionmine. 199 Sep 03, 2001 *Galapagos Islands* 50855 8:51 PM The Market is The Guru 8925 Nov 25, 2003 Ask Vendit Off-Topic Questions 1836 Mar 15, 2002 NEW Market Ideas - Weird Opinion Trades 1016 Jul 21, 2001 "Worthless Stock Certificates" 15 Jul 31, 2001 The Christian Values Thread 182 Sep 07, 2001 * POST YOUR CLUES FOR THE FBI
What is going on? I really don't care to see a power struggle about list position -- I like them to be stable so I can speed-read. |
