Your Doggedness, it is always a joy to get a runaway dog back to house. Were you able to sniff out anything new about FGI while roaming in the wilderness? ag

*OTOT*** TO ALL: "NEW" SI vs. "CLASSIC" SI Actually, this subject is really "on topic" for all SI subscribers. I don't know how many of you tried out the SI Beta version, or how many of you have permanently switched to it now that it has officially become the "New SI." I also don't know how many of you are aware that the old format -- let us call it "Classic SI" -- is due to be axed shortly. This has led to a grass-roots rebellion, the cause for which I tried to explain in the following post: Message 10754633 Two days ago, one of our old-timers, LRR, launched a petition that asks only that Classic SI be preserved, alongside the New SI. (The petition thread has been No. #1 on the Hot Subjects list ever since -- although you would never know it from looking at the Top Ten "Hot Subjects" list on the log-in page of the New SI.) Subject 29753 This post (in response to charges that the controversy is "unnecessary") lays out the current "state of play": Message 10756755 And here is a forum for discussing issues related to the petition: Subject 29760 And last but not least, here is a poll, in which I would urge you all to vote. The Go2Net folks in charge of the changeover have maintained that 90% of the subscribers from whom they received feedback supported the Beta site. We question the validity of that statement. unicus.com Thank you for your attention! jbe
