This is a small thing, but it bugs me. Especially the day we ended up surfing the online guide via iPhone on the ride home. Ignoring "A", "An", and "The" at the beginnning of a title is the proper thing to do.

Why anyone would include the definitive or an indefinite article in the title of a place is beyond me; I always wondered about that. Why anyone would list any index by these articles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indefinite_article
is also crazy. Chemical Abstracts and related data management services had kittens over this for a while. I bet the librarians among us have way more than I do to say about this. I see at
http://pubs.acs.org/
that the following are all listed under J.
The Journal of Organic Chemistry
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B
The Journal of Physical Chemistry C
:D

i'm sure it has nothing to do with the annoyances of having to program that catch, program the input, program the search.. and try to have a life beyond volunteering to make your spray prettier and avoid you having to go through the incredible struggle of having typing/searching through a couple extra letters..

nah..

you already can.


Is there a report that give you the most popular and/or highest graded route of each grade?

It's the little things in life that really annoy me.

This is one of them.

Under the current system, there are 26 Walls incorrectly indexed in the online guide. This especially irks me because route names are correctly indexed, i.e., The Beeneling is found under "B". Please fix this before I find a way to use it as an excuse to do something terrible and inexcusable.

Please.

Actually, if they were based on a hex string, wouldn't that mean they weren't random?

One thing I don't like about the guide: I look at my spray by date, look at a route, and when I go back to my spray I have to re-sort it by date, grade or whatever I want to look at. Pain in the butt!

Also, I'm not a fan of the add to spray button, I'd rather have all that stuff on the page and ready to go.

Paul, all the new hexes are on wires. Hex strings are so 1990's.
