On the "Eunuch Archive Message Boards > General Castration Discussion > Eunuch Central" page, why does this topic keep showing up as new? It says that the Last Post is "07-07-2002 03:58 AM by Dave", but the last post is really 06-20-2002!

It's annoying to keep clicking into this topic (since it's marked as new) but not seeing any posts.

I've mentioned this to Bboy and Talula before, but it may be a major flaw in the software that cannot be worked around. When somebody responds to a poll, even if they don't add a new posting, the software regards it as a new posting.

You may also notice that when you arrive at the opening page, it will tell you that there are X new messages on the Message Board. No, the actual number of REAL postings is far fewer. But the poll responses get counted as a new message. And I am not sure if even that accounts for the inflated numbers.

Still a few bugs in the system.

A fly in the ointment...

A bug in the program...

A MOTH making the relay stick...

A-1's LAW of Technology....

NO matter how advanced the technology gets there will ALWAYS be some sort of flaw present...

Remember, you heard it here first...

Not really. This seems to be another re-phrasing of Murphey's law and its many sequels. My own favourite is Agnes Allen's Law: That anything is easier to get into then to get out of.

"touche!"

Since then it has grown hugely out of proportion.

Not the same as my law of technology...

Thanks, I enjoyed that visit.

...it is a great site, isn't it?

Did ya get a load of the YB49A? (if not click the main site & explore)

You know, there has been some talk of sabotage regarding that plane. Robert Cardinas (sp) refused to do stall tests with it because it would get completely unstable in a stall and either just fall sideways, tumble end over end or spiral so violently that it would pin the pilot's arms back with tremendous G-Force. He was re-assigned to an engineering school.

After Glen Edwards crashed and there was one left flying it met a mysterious demise with landing gear failure.

Then the whole program was scrapped.

It seems that it was COMPLETELY invisible to the radars of the day and would have COMPLETELY de-stablized the Cold War if it had went into production.
