#19  I dunno, guys, she's got one of those "do I have a surprise for you" look in her eyes. I'd check to see who recently got a new black belt in karate...

#16  That leaves more cute for me, Strom. I could totally be your wing-man for the big jugs.

#15  I like jugs more than cute

#11  I start at the top and work my way down. Reading the articles, I mean.

#10  It's just me, but I start at the "local" and work my way up.
Sort of like starting the newspaper by reading the funnies first.
And... just to divert the straight woman/gay male Rantburgundians, can Fred throw us some tasty beefcake, now and again? Once a month is fine. ;-)

#9  I think most folks scroll thru the front page by default Bobby, keeps the count artificially low.

#8  And it sort of lets you know which titles are most interesting to folks out there, even if they don't comment. Then again, I might click on some juicy looking gossip, but I don't want people taking that to mean that is what I am most interested in.

#7  I'm a "Kat" fancier, oh yes!

#6  One of the benefits of the new system is to observe that not everyone comes to the front page - or at least it doesn't have the most views - which is a puzzle all unto itself! Why would anyone not want to start their day with the front page?

#5  OK, I retract second part of my comment, as I've seen numbers of comments is actually shown in a separate column, my bad.

#4  I think listing the numbers of Comments was preferable to the new policy of revealing "View" totals. However, it is no big deal.

I would tend to agree; first, it makes RB lose a part of its "mystery" by seeing what its traffic is, and second, I preferred the numbers of comments, as it enabled me to cherrypick articles... either by going to those with significant amount of comments (and thus to check what had been said), or to avoid those with *too much* comments (I did this while Aris was here, and the subsequent "why bother" 100+ comments threads).
