in reply to Oldest Node

Just for fun I picked some numbers and looked them up. True, it's not much more than clicking the 'random node' link, but here's what I found anyway:

123456-Re: Anagram Matching
12345 -Bug #85
1234 -Not Found
123 -Permission denied
12 -Permission denied
1 -Permission denied
76 -Permission denied
1775 -Permission denied
1776 -Prototypes in Perl
486 -The Go Poem
52700 -Not Found
12576 -Not Found

For those who don't know, November 10, 1775 is when the first Continental Congress established the United States Marine Corps. 76 was my high school football number. 52700 is my wedding aniversary. 12576 is my birthday. (Send presents, or trade them for ++ votes c",)

Some of the higher end nodes had content. Middle nodes seem more likely to not be found. Anyone in the 'know' know why? And why are so many nodes denied to me? What deep dark secrets lie in the depths of the monestary? Someday maybe I'll be able to let you know.

    Hehe,
    I suspect the "denied" nodes are usually those that have some sort of administrative function attached to them ...
    ...or maybe we're in the midst of an Illuminati training camp?
    Oh, well, it's still fun.

    So Long
