We do seem to have had far fewer posts lately saying “I haven’t done any research on the subject and I haven’t even bothered to read the thread. Now let me explain it all to you.” We’ve had less bothsidesism on the board lately, too.

I don’t want either one of them to be _gone_, just to be more responsible.

Neither **Bricker** nor **John Mace** do this.

Yep- if you preface your filenames on your computer with the YYYYMMDD date, then they automatically sort by date if you sort by filename, regardless of how mangled the create or modify dates end up.

Every time I see this thread title, it puts the song [_Who’s Johnny_](https://youtube.com/watch?v=yA9WhYnsD_4) in my head. Thought I would spread the misery.

Any word? I happened to notice that a few weeks ago and finally found this thread. Not that I had much agreement with him, but I don’t wish him ill health or death.

[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2HS74HH1C8) should get it out of your head.

Get it right, it’s **CC** YYMMDD, at least for the old Y2Kers. 😛

Thought for sure that would be [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-ABIIZV3vA&t=1m8s).

_Some_body had to take Kavanaugh’s old job. Why not **Bricker**?
