If your interested and able to add to the conversation, information will be shared. Stressing over top post vs. bottom post is just a distraction. donald

Just google CBFalconer top post and you get: "1 - 10 of about 20,600 for CBFALCONER TOP POST" About 20,600? Who says it's a distraction. Now scrolling through the quotes to get to the new post, that's a distraction :>) *Peter* Donald wrote:> CBFalconer wrote: >> Donald wrote: >> >>> Guy Macon wrote: >>> >>>> shinystartrek@gmail.com wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>>> I was looking for an alternative to VNC1L, not a product that >>>>> has VNC1L inside!! >>>> >>>> Please don't top-post. >>> >>> Well, that brought usefull information to this discussion. >>> Mother Falconer would be proud. >> >> >> Well, yes.

But of course that is nothing compared to this, just google "guy macon top post" and you get: "1 - 10 of about 741,000 for guy macon TOP POST" Maybe by the time we get to the end of this thread he might make the million! This could be entertaining or just plain "egocentric". *Peter* Peter Jakacki wrote:> Just google CBFalconer top post and you get: > "1 - 10 of about 20,600 for CBFALCONER TOP POST" > > About 20,600?

Who says it's a distraction.>But of course that is nothing compared to this, (snip)The only thing that your test shows is that Peter Jakacki is too dimwitted to use Google correctly. The correct search phrase would be [ CBFalconer "top post" ] not [ CBFalconer top post ]. Results 1 - 10 of about 4,160 for CBFalconer "top post". But even correcting that dimwitted error would still lead to the that conclusion that Peter Jakacki is too dimwitted to use Google correctly. To get the actual number, go to the last URL that Google brings up. It's on a page that says Results 131 - 133 of 133 for CBFalconer "top post". The answer is 133, not 20,600. You are off by a factor of 155. Do the same with my name and the numbers go from 754,000 to 360 to 107 -- your answer is 7047 times too high this time. Like I always say, top-posting is a great way for idiots to self-indentify so that they may be killfiled. ___ ___ ___ ___ / /\ / /\ /__/\ /__/| / /::\ / /::\ \ \:\ | |:| / /:/\:\ ___ ___ / /:/\:\ \ \:\ | |:| / /:/~/:/ /__/\ / /\ / /:/ \:\ _____\__\:\ __| |:| /__/:/ /:/ \ \:\ / /:/ /__/:/ \__\:\ /__/::::::::\ /__/\_|:|____ \ \:\/:/ \ \:\ /:/ \ \:\ / /:/ \ \:\~~\~~\/ \ \:\/:::::/ \ \::/ \ \:\/:/ \ \:\ /:/ \ \:\ ~~~ \ \::/~~~~ \ \:\ \ \::/ \ \:\/:/ \ \:\ \ \:\ \ \:\ \__\/ \ \::/ \ \:\ \ \:\ \__\/ \__\/ \__\/ \__\/

(That will change when this message and any replies are digested by Google, of course.) Removing the quotes brings "about 747,000" matches, most of them totally unrelated, like this, on the Ocmulgee National Monument: http://gorp.away.com/gorp/resource/us_nm/ga_ocmul.htm Relevant sections: "Today's Gear GUY: "How can I attach a camcorder..." "...at the edge of the present city of MACON, about 4 miles from the geographic center of Georgia,..." "The structures that stood on TOP at each stage..." "The English set up a trading POST at Ocmulgee sometime around 1690,..." The correct search (guy-macon top-post) found 96 matches on a first attempt, about 350 on a second try a few minutes later. (Which suggests that Google returns only the matches found before some allotted time when a new search is entered, and continues to work on it in the background.)

Some users always get the same one, others get a different one each time. It all depends where you are on the net. There is one other task that needs to be done in order to get an accurate count. You need to go to the very last entry on the very last page and see what the actual count is. The count given on the first page isn't really a count; it's an estimate. BTW, it used to be true that searching on "Guy Macon" gave the same results as searching on Guy-Macon, but that is no longer true.
