• Thread of The Week, Round 154



    It's time for a new thread of the week, our way of recognizing forum members for promoting valuable discussion here.

    Every weekday yours truly posts a morning briefing, including the most popular forum threads—that is, the posts with the most replies—for the previous 24 hour period. For reference, here are the briefings for the past seven days:

    Your Morning Briefing for Monday, December 19th, 2022
    Your Morning Briefing for Tuesday, December 20th, 2022
    Your Morning Briefing for Wednesday, December 21st, 2022
    Your Morning Briefing for Thursday, December 22nd, 2022
    Your Morning Briefing for Friday, December 23rd, 2022

    Remember that the Monday briefing includes forum posts from the prior Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so all weekend posts are similarly eligible.

    In each briefing, forum posts are ranked by the number of replies (from highest to lowest). That's subject to change, of course, so I did a quick recount of replies for all forum posts in the briefings above. With 47 replies as of this posting the most popular thread started last week is:

    Tracfone Moto G pure battery life

    No, whitelisting is not just used for that context, nor telephony industry in general.

    It's just a general English term to signify the inverse of blacklisting.

    For example a local country club...
