Exclude parts of a series from the "similar" panel

When you read an article that is part of a series, the whole series is listed at the right ("From this series"), which is great! However, the panel below that ("Similar") often lists the same articles, i.e. the parts from that same series. I think the algorithm that looks for similar articles should exclude parts of the same series.

Sample: http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Getting-ready-for-the-Windows-Phone-7-Exam-70-599-Part-3.aspx

The "From this series" panel lists part 3, 2 and 1. The "Similar" panel below that also lists part 2 and 1 as first links.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your feedback!

You are absolutely right about this. We are going to either improve the algorithm for similarity or remove the panel at all.
