Yeah, but Jon's cool, I can understand why others would have him as an interest. I wonder if "Jon Singer's Ceramics" would count as a unique interest...
It's because we aren't comparing the interest *HIV*. (Um.. think of those asterisks as wildcards, not marks of emphasis.) Just because no one has selected your exact character string doesn't meant that no one else has that actual interest. This is one of the great flaws of the LJ interest-finder. If you could search on wildcards, you could find more people who share the actual interest, and not just those who have happened to type inthe same string of characters.

K. [I also sort of wish that we still had "jon singer" as a unique interest, but we dropped it after some other people picked it up]

Actually, what's really hard to imagine is why "HIV issues" is a unique interest of mine.

I'm shocked that no one besides me picked up "female soloists". Ah me.
