@cman said: Is it possible to add a tab next to All Discussions that lists all threads with at least one follow up? Just a filter that hides as yet undiscussed threads and maintains recency. This prevents the often expressed tensi…

FYI -@Ted. I am not in a geek squad, and I don't know if anyone else appreciates the appellation, but i will continue to ignore requests you make with the appellation. So feel free to use "geek squad" , but also realize you will…

>Are you sure about #8? (9!)?

(8 + 8/8) = 9. Turning it upside down, the eights remain eights and the nine becomes six :-)

@DavidV
(cos(0) + cos(0) + cos(0))! = 6
really, realy close but you can't use the cos
you got the right idea - but you can't use cos sine tangent just symbols.
if you add letters they are not symbols.
so we need a new answer on the first …

I didn't post it.
They can edit the discussion and select a new category from the dropdown box to move it to where they want it to be as they see fit.

feedback (by a large number of readers of the forum) to the question could lead to something. - a useful program perhaps.
no feedback could lead to nothing
but a fair and balanced question, maybe :)
just curious what forum members think.
