Congrats again, everyone. Splendid work this week!
One housekeeping note before I leave you. My mom's move to St. Louis is fast approaching (it's now just 12 days away) so I am dealing with movers, her storage unit, the independent living facility where she's headed (which has been surprisingly scattered and unprepared for her), a furniture rental outfit, and too many other entities and details to count. Suddenly having to assume so much responsibility for her life has been pretty overwhelming. My fingers are staying crossed that the next few weeks go smoothly, as I really want to keep a steady stream of Spotlights coming. Though please continue to be patient if my posting remains sporadic. My priority right now is to get mom and her kitty Coocoo happily situated in her new apartment, which is a far cry from the 1790s rambling old home that she's leaving. I expect this to be no small feat.
So that no one has an unfair advantage in making it onto a hot list, the algorithm is secret even to site administrators. Only our platform developers know the code, which has been exhaustively tested by those developers and Cookie Connection staff.
