I love snopes. One of the greatest websites known to man-kind. When I have time to waste, I go over and read their message boards from time to time.

snopes is great. I was in a hurry, and had I listened to my better half, I would have known the straight scoop on the cell phone thing.

It's okay, Roger. I did get a telemarketer call on my cell once, not too long ago. I don't know how they got the number, or if it was just a random thing, but it turned out to be a scam and I could've gotten ripped off.

does it go new-to-old or old-to-new?

you are hung up on that, aren't you Roger? I Snopes goes new to old.

I am interested in why MBs seem to be going this way. Since I believe in causality, I am keener than most, I guess, in seeing why this is. One mb that used to be new to old is now old to new, and they have a different system than they used to (Runners World).

??Interest?? ??Obsession??

I my opinion, I believe old to new is better because if you haven't visited in a while, you can start at the top and work your way down to get caught up on what you missed. If it is listed new to old, it's like reading the end of the book first.
