Out of curiosity, what is the status bar to the left of every comment for? Is it some sort of admin tool available to pg's account?

I think it might be a relevance or score of some kind.
The reason it might look weird (like a strange progress bar or something) is because it's an img link to "s.gif", but s.gif is actually a 404.
The td cell (yup it's a table structure) the img link is in is named "ind".
No idea what these two things put together mean.
EDIT: Then I noticed a thing between "Hacker News" and "new" at the top. s.gif yet again.

Wow, that takes me back a bit, and I'm not even a real webdev or anything (and I don't mind tables to boot). Blinks
