no, for a long time (and still most of the time), that's been
the case for me too! i've pointed it out to several people.
it's pretty odd...i'm not sure how to approach the numerical
analysis...i wonder what the selection effect is, or how much
of it is that for a short while there was a statistically
improbable trend of 7s and then you just notice more after
that... (you know, how people only remember the things that
nostradamus predicted that came true, and not all the things
that didn't...)

ps. but i still plan to do a set of all track 7s and see if
anyone notices...
