    That's why I always recommend using YDC* search (look for everything beginning YDC followed by any letters and numbers) - so many people don't understand what the title is supposed to hold. Unfortunately, the result is that some people started putting the asterisk in their titles!! You can't win. *grin*

    LOL - I knew about the asterisk thing, but find it interesting the different numbers involved. Since there may be people who don't know the trick, or haven't read the hints before, it might BEHOOVE (I like that silly word!) us to just come up with one way to do it.....space or no space. I'm all about simple. Simple, that's me.

    The rule has been made, repeated, polished, changed, changed back, put on display, wrapped in gold-leaf, and repeated again. There *is* just one way to do it. Now... how do you go about communicating that better than has already been done? ;o)

    p.s. To prove my point *grin* the rule has been discussed, altered, switched back etc so many times I'd completely lost track of which was the official version now and had to go and check the rules again:

    6) Please put YDC 81 in the auction title.

    So that's with gap. Which means mine are wrong for a start. *grin*
