    I think they grab then randomly out of the safe... I have a modern economy order that cleared before 2 others that were received a week before.
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    There is no way in Hades that they are graded in the order that they are received.

    The serious question is whether or not there is a method to the madness.

    Read between the lines on that one. image
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
    John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff

    No. What they do is read the forum and those members who do the most bagging keep getting moved to the rear of the line. Those who do the most butt kissing get moved to the front. Why do you think Wallstreetman is always bragging about how fast his submissions get done? image

    If they were grading in order received, mine would have been done long ago.

    And this is why your orders are graded first

    I must not be a very good butt kisser, since I'm sitting at 77 days and counting. I'll need to work on my approach. image

    Perhaps the classics are placed on grading trays with cloth gloves and the moderns go up the conveyor belt and carefully dropped into the silo?

    So they might have missed just one order of yours. Trust me you are a world class butt kisser.

    I figured it worked this way. Just think, I've been listening to you guys all this time when I should've been "Kissin' the baby" all along...image
