I initially hoped that I could simply recode a more efficient query, but as it turned out, it was/is as efficient as it can be for a nearly 4 million record data set.

There is still a remaining issue which needs to be resolved in the interests of the members. AshleyD wrote here about the option, which was alter disabled as noted here. From what I gathered, this helped fuel the fire.

No fire. Same query, different page. Lots of people started using it, and new slow queries started stacking up in the logs.
Can you imagine how frustrating it can be when you work hard to ethically manage this site's technology and community for 4+ year and have inappropriate accusations flung about over something as simple as this?

Please do tell, how would you build your website without "stipulation-free" advertising dollars? I'd really like to hear.
SO already said they turned down The History Channel's advertising dollars because of a stipulation made by the network.
Peace

Um, LW, the name Pegasus was given by me after a model of an electrogravitic spacecraft I designed in '94, and Ron and I collaborated in the creation of the website out of the evolution of an ATS thread called "The Winged Horses and the Spaceship" long before John Lear showed up and was befriended by Ron.
There is no argument John Lear is a great boon to our objectives, but our mission is neither owned nor controlled by him. We have contact with many people who have much to offer, and we will continue to provide the outlet they need to get their knowledge out for the very reasons we have officially stated.

Matyas - I do apologise for the wrong attribution - I should have considered what I was saying more carefully.
