The list of statistics website URLs gets randomly shuffled up every time I access the page, or at least shuffled up quite often. If a commercial website shuffled up a product list every time a customer logged on, they'd be flogged. I have an app that randomly shuffles up 4 buttons at the bottom every time I start it, and it's infuriating. In that case, I infer that their intent is to annoy me into accidentally pushing the button that says "Buy now!". Bzzzzzt. What's SETI's excuse? If it's some misplaced notion of fair play, it's just as fair to randomly shuffle up the websites JUST ONCE (everyone has same chance), and set them in that order. Or order them alphanumerically by domain name. Or numerically by IP address. Or - great idea - do what all the search engines do but don't publicly say: them that pays the most, gets ranked higher in the results!! Somebody had too much time on their hands on that feature...

umm these are free sites. To not show favoritism towards any one list they shuffle the list. It's not a matter of selling anything since they all provide their lists as a free service. My suggestion is to just bookmark the one you want and use it. Links are just that and will be shuffled In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |
