Shame it's not on demand. You also have to e-mail them for the complete list.

I'd go for something like

There doesn't seem to be much action vote-wise on existing topics so if there were some things that we as a group would like to see I would imagine if they get suggested and we all get behind voting for them we could get them through.

Hhh! For the benefit of the 'new, expanded' th3core, years ago I made a comment that went something like "Hell, if you want traffic all you have to do is slap a picture of a cat on there."

Reddit has subsequently proven that to be the case.

I've posted a grep, so votes for "Sites with Phone Numbers" would be appreciated.

Let's see if we can trigger a grep.

"...Gotta sign in to vote..."

Hmmm so now Blekko wants to have our email addies as well? Sheesh. Who else is out to spam me 'with consent' later? I'm expecting a personal invite from the pope any minute now  ::)

Thanks for the votes, any more?

Looks as though Blekko have not got the data delivery method sorted (for the large result sets), I'll let you know when they do. They are very good at responding to emails, so I'm in touch with them re the data.
