I've been posting to Tarboard for a few years, but I've yet to discover the meaning of the figure in brackets after the message title. Thus:

Re: The canon -Portsmouth Harbour - Ian E-N 09/28/05 (0)

What exactly is the "0"? Why do I usually get "0"? Is it some kind of scoring system? Can we all play? Will andyb Re: Swallow anew? - andyb 08/18/05 (73) overtake Jeremy Kriewaldt Re: Swallow anew? - Jeremy Kriewaldt 08/16/05 (75)?

Perhaps it's part of MI5's control system for foreign agents (that would explain a great deal of recent interest in AR's old files) or it like the Football Pools? Is there... is there money involved? I'm betting on dark horse Peter H Re: Swallow anew? - Peter H 08/18/05 (72) coming in to win in the final straight.

Dear Ian E-N do please tell.
