What's the difference betweem #Y000000 and #U000000 ?

[HowlingUlf]

I've tried to search for it but searching for what essentially is just two letters the search engines refused to cooperate hehe. I'm willing to forgive them.

So fellow humans, the #S000000 listings give you full critique but the both the #Y000000 and #U000000 listings seem to be yes/no with a few extra words if the screener wants to?

There is probably a giant sign on the front of the whole TAXI site screaming this out but I didn't find it

I've never really noticed. I checked and I can't really see the difference between them.. lol

One space on the keyboard

I sense the end of my sleepless nights as this is starting to metamorphose into a non topic ...


but


a space? is that all?

Since there is only ONE "U16" listing and NO "U17" listings, but 18 "Y16" listings and 20 "Y17" listings I would say someone's finger hit the wrong key.

Kind of like hitting the "M" instead of the "N" in this topic.

Somebody at TAXI should go to se a doctor for a dislocated finger or something

After searching my hd for the textfiles I save for each listing I think I will have a try at I conclude the following:

38% TAXI #S
34% TAXI #Y
27% TAXI #U

59% of all the files had "yes/no" in them so #U = #Y more or less.

***

I used FileLocator Pro (under $50) for searching and it didn't take 5 minutes to find the above.
Compared to the completely retarded search thingie in Windows and about the same in Mac then FileLocator is a relief for a info junkie haha.
You can filter, view text, search for stuff inside files, use RegEx, save your conditions and lots more and it's FAST like ridiculously fast!!!
There is probably some Mac equivalent?
I don't know why the two largest developers of operating systems couldn't have use for this themselves and included it in their products???

For some reason I almost want to write a song about this

v) what's a Y zero zero when it's at home?
does a U zero zero refer to a Drone?
is the Y a cool hip hop kind of guy?
or is the U a spacey ambient cue?

pre) only the screener knows for sure!

Ch) oh oh, the taxi codes
raining down like cats and toads
tension, action, positive and chill
have you got the music to fit the bill.....
everybody! oh oh... the taxi codes....

This may not be the full answer but this is what I know. Maybe admin will come on and explain better.

The "Y" designation has been around for many years as "YES/NO", no review. Even the checkboxes and optional comment box didn't exists early on, YES or NO was just that- no explanation. Taxi added the checkboxes and comment box later on. A MUCH appreciated addition.

A few years back, Taxi started sending out "special" listings, with somewhat more immediate need, outside of the normal 2x a month listings. I think these were the origin of the "U" designation, though I'm not sure what "U" stand for. Something with "un-", probably. Contrary to some people's belief, it does not stand for "un-forwardable". (That was a joke).

I do know it doesn't stand for "ubiquitous".

or
U = "This one is for You"
Y = "Why even bother with this one?"
