    In the daily email newsletter, there are always two posts at the bottom (Code Project Discussions - Have your say!). Does anyone know the criteria for the selections?

    I think that the hamsters have a meeting, discuss the merits, or otherwise, of the more recent posts and vote. In the event of ties the 'One potato, Two potato' algorithm is employed.

                      Chuck does not join. Chuck is a member by default. Netscape folded because they forgot this simple fact.

                            I believe that the most interesting post or a post with a lot of replies often gets picked

                              It does not seem to be always the case. "Most interesting" is very subjective. CP must have a way to make the selection.

                                  Yes, it is subjective to the guy who wrote the newsletter... :) He might have list of long / highest voted threads, and then he will make final selection.
