Taking a look at the posting times, they're only 18 minutes apart. When I first checked this thread out, I clicked on the most recent post at that moment. A few minutes later, you had probably clicked on that link as well. You were apparently quicker to post your link since by the time I came back to post my referral link, yours was already posted, hence my referral number being lower than yours.

That's the only reason I can think of. Is there way to avoid this from happening?
