Craig - The thread name used to start with some punctuation character so it sorted to the top of the list. Apparently this character has been deleted from the title with its move to the new Y2K subject, so now it sorts to the bottom of the list. Hmmmm.... anyone catch the Y2K significance here? When one is acustomed to find something in a certain location/order (97, 98, 99, ....), suddenly altering that location/order (00, 01 ... 97, 98, 99) makes a big difference. Humans can be adaptable & learn to look (in this Year 2000 vs "Year 2000" example) in a different place... takes a bit more work with a machine process. - David
