...and this one is only mathematical in that the next in the series is a number ;)

i think the next symbol is "delete account"
#3: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 3, 2012 [SPOILER]
Is the symbol after the next a colon?
#4: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jan 3, 2012
I need a clue. Pretty please.

karl, you are adorable.

teresa, what kind of hint do you want? It's a number, a single number, it requires no particular expertise, i think about anyone on here has a shot at figuring it out.

Obviously "9": https://www.amazon.com/Wenger-16999-Swiss-Knife-Giant/dp/B001DZTJRQ

Good one, David. I don't know how many times I glanced up at the title to see if I was missing something. :-D
