    Re: Allocation of member #'s —Tom McDonald
   (...) After being away for the weekend of the 4th and coming back and reading through the dozens of posts on this, I just said "Whew, I gotta go on vacation longer so I can miss stuff like this more often" ;-) Todd, I've changed my mind about (...)

        Re: Allocation of member #'s —Todd Lehman
     (...) LOL! I'd like to miss a few threads once in a while as well. :-) (...) After a week of cogitating on the complexity of all of this (especially with Selçuk's recent insights), I agree that at least for the time being, things will be much more (...)

         Re: Allocation of member #'s —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) But I want #2 not #3 ;-) More importantly, what does "signed up" in this context mean? Given my circumstances, there may be no way, depending on when you set this up, that I can get in ahead 50 other people. I still think some sort of "who (...)

          Re: Allocation of member #'s —Todd Lehman
       (...) Maybe "who posted first" could be a prioritizer in case of contentions. Oh well, still several days before anything needs to be put in stone. --Todd (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: Allocation of member #'s —Ed Jones
      (...) Well, I wouldn't call it a mountain, maybe a trash heap. :') But is it just me, or is this whole clamoring for "prime" numbers getting just a little out of hand. Who was the first to post? Who helped Todd the most? Yada Yada Yada Yada. Folks, (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: Allocation of member #'s —Todd Lehman
       (...) No, that's right. If people get the number they want, that's really great. But if they don't, I don't really care (much). But I *do* care (a lot) that people be given the choice to -avoid- certain numbers that they don't want. That is, I would (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
      
           Re: Allocation of member #'s —Sanjay D'Souza
       A far easier numbering system would be to use segments, ie an ID could be made up of subparts that could be used for future Lugnet marketing purposes, give aways and localised promotions. For instance the segments could include: Country of Origin, (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
      
           Re: Allocation of member #'s —Tom McDonald
       (...) Thanks for your MasterCard # Sanjay! :D (...) You mean some sort of unique integer based on the attributes of someone's profile? I could see that, but having considered this idea in my only real job- related database project of music involving (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
     
          Re: Allocation of member #'s —Sanjay D'Souza
      I agree with Ed on this one....if people start using arguments like who posted the first post or who argued the first argument or who boobed with the first blooper then things will really get out of hand. An easier option, one that will guarantee to (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: Allocation of member #'s —Mike Stanley
     (...) Sounds good. Go ahead and wipe my AucZILLA credit slate clean and lemme know where to send anything else. We'll just figure me not cashing that credit in as my however much Y I want to send in addition to X. (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Allocation of member #'s —Mike Stanley
   (...) I'd kinda like a number that would make me seem like the slightly over-the-hill but still big-name actor who has a decent-sized role. You know, the guy who is always "and Name" at the end of the intro to the tv show. (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
   
        Re: Allocation of member #'s —Tom McDonald
   (...) You mean like Russell Johnson as The Professor on Gilligan? He'd have a number like 3.14159265... Or maybe like Lee Majors with a number like 6,000,000? Perhaps 51 for Ephram Zymbalist Jr. ? -Tom McD. when replying, some newer CD-RW's will (...) (26 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
