    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

The Change in the Formatting on Posts and Comments

I have only just realized that Typepad automatically changed the formatting, limiting the number of posts per page, and the number of comments per page, with the result that these annoying little "next" lines appear at the bottom that you have to click on to continue.  I’ve now adjusting the settings so that the maximum number of comments and posts appear on a single page, but the maximum isn’t that high:  the limit is 50.  Obviously that is a headache for the tenure-track hiring thread, where there will likely be more than 100 comments soon.  I will inquire with Typepad, since this latest "innovation" is clearly not a helpful one for our purposes.  Anyway, my apologies to readers who are finding this a nuisance.
