Re-read what I said. I didn’t say to substitute another @, I said remove the plus sign but don’t leave a space. Thankfully, Donkephant cleared things up by stating that you leave the plus sign in.

Do try to keep up with the rest of the class next time, Timmeh.

Oh yea, that makes sense. Cause 2+2=5. Just reason it out with me. If you take a rope and tie two knots in it, then take a second piece of rope and tie two knots in it, and then tie to two cord together, you have five knots. DUH!! 2+2=5!

I don’t know why we didn’t understand this years ago.

Titanic grossed the most overall, but the contest is for opening weekends, and I’m pretty sure Titanic didn’t open well. Or at least not as well as other movies. It made its money over time.

Open your eyes – there’s already an @ there! Have you ever seen an e-mail address with two @s?

In Gmail you can create filters with the “+.” If you remove the + there’s no telling where your submission will go. This helps us make sure your submissions for the contest end up on the voting pages in a timely manner since we have a huge backlog of stuff in our inbox.

I’m pretty sure the email address used is just to thwart spammers. Remove the + but don’t leave a space. Some spammers are using harvesting scripts that will “catch” addresses that are written like bitemyass (AT) youspammers.com and similar.

I think Titanic is the other movie in the top 5, but could be wrong about that

But fail on the email address anyway. Clicking it gives me a space instead of the + in GMail. Am I supposed to merge the two words or put it in myself or what?

By: adam

But really, I think they mean Spider-man and Spider-man 3 as 1 movie. Like
Pirates 2 is just Pirates and Shrek 2 is just Shrek

there are only 4 movies listed. the word “including” is not exactly interchangeable with “including only,” “including but limited to,” or any other such word or phrase. good catch though.

um, er. Is it just me, or is that only 4 movies?
