I'm not one to bite the hand that feeds me... but I must say, the "Heat Factor" of some of Brian's and Lights' "HOT!!!" deals can be tepid, at times.

When Apex posts a "HOT!!!" deal, pay attention. It is surely a can't miss.

Last week, the 19" UltraSharp LCD for $259 was a HOT!!! deal. This week, it's posted at nearly a hundred dollars more, yet is still HOT!!! While a reasonably good deal, no doubt, it is not HOT!!! like last week's certainly was.

If everything is HOT!!!, then it is harder to pickout the truely can't miss ones from the available-everyday ones (like the ING DIRECT 3% deal).

Keep up the good work guys, but please be more discriminating when it comes to announcing the heat level of the deal.

read between the lines. literally.

usually, they use the !!! system, as in, the more !!! there are, the HOT'er the deal is.
