I personally would be more convinced if you could find some threads that SHOULD
be there, but aren't.  Also include whether those threads have been spotlighted
or not.

OK, here is one:

http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=24799

It is about 36 hours old.  When it was about 6 hours old and with several replys
I spotlighted it.  It still has just one spotlight, but there are now 14
messages in the thread which shows quite a bit of interest.  And the thread
itself would be quite interesting to a number of people even outside of the
train community.

A thread like this with activity and a spotlight should take precidence over
another MOC post, especially when there have been no replys or highlights for
that MOC post.  I like MOCs, but for me and other AFOL there is a lot more to
Lego than just MOCs.

As a test yesterday I spotlighted a couple of other recent and interesting
non-moc articles, but they have not made the list either:
http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=50532 - post on helmet differences
http://news.lugnet.com/build/vignette/?n=211 - curious vignette

Anyone still watching this thread?  I wonder how many spotlights it would take
for one of these other threads to reach the list...
