I e-mailed the **Diva** a while ago, but I’m still good ol’ **bobevilsquid**. Has she forgotten? Or is she just busy with other stuff? I understand if she’s just busy, I just wanna know. ---

Interesting, the thread list still says this topic was started by **bobevilsquid** ; from this we can infer that the back-end database for the vBulletin software is not properly normalised. ---

Rather, we can deduce that the thread index is static, whereas the poster names _within_ a thread are dynamic. 🙂 ---
