New You do something clever with the number of results.
If you figure out (say) 10, then stop displaying them once the distance gaps get suddenly a lot bigger. So if someone is real close to 2, moderately close to another 3 and quite far from the next, they see 5. But if someone is moderately close to only 4, they see 4. And if someone is quite a ways from 3 and quite a long way from the next, they see 3.

Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New Too confusing
I can imagine the tech support calls when people get a variable number of responses that do not seem to correlate to exact distances.
     Any obvious pitfalls in using this? - (broomberg) - (18) - Jan. 5, 2005, 10:26:27 PM EST

                 isnt that what mapquest and grep comes in? -NT - (daemon) - Jan. 5, 2005, 11:23:59 PM EST
             Well, I see the L pseudo scripting language is catching on. -NT - (ChrisR) - Jan. 5, 2005, 11:18:44 PM EST
         Possible distance quirk. - (static) - (5) - Jan. 5, 2005, 11:22:00 PM EST
             Yep, thought of that - (broomberg) - (4) - Jan. 6, 2005, 12:05:42 AM EST

                             Too confusing - (broomberg) - Jan. 6, 2005, 08:30:10 PM EST
         Well the code is crap... - (ben_tilly) - (7) - Jan. 6, 2005, 11:17:53 PM EST
             Not much code there to be THAT bad. - (broomberg) - (6) - Jan. 6, 2005, 11:32:56 PM EST
                 It doesn't take much to be bad - (ben_tilly) - (5) - Jan. 7, 2005, 01:53:56 PM EST
                     Nice. It's things like this that make zIWeThey a great read. -NT - (Another Scott) - Jan. 7, 2005, 01:51:21 PM EST
                     20 is nothing - (SpiceWare) - (2) - Jan. 7, 2005, 01:55:09 PM EST
                         I may be biased - (ben_tilly) - (1) - Jan. 7, 2005, 02:03:40 PM EST
                             no disagreement about the code - (SpiceWare) - Jan. 7, 2005, 02:11:57 PM EST
                     Thanks -NT - (broomberg) - Jan. 7, 2005, 07:21:29 PM EST
