Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    So long as you fully understand that these metrics are absolutely terrible descriptors of the underlying information and so can never be considered in attempts to draw any inferences about that underlying information, then I guess that's probably okay *. That's a fairly monumental proviso that needs to be stuck in whenever referring to or considering them of course, which I doubt is ever likely to be actually considered.

    If you seek to misapply statistics, and also understand that you are misapplying statistics, then I guess it's fine (*if pointless) to choose to misapply statistics. It is important however to never present anything other than the misapplication of said statistics as being shown by the statistics that you have chosen to misapply.

    I love the economic use of asterisks there.
