"...rendering it pretty much useless as a viable statistical tool for developing a product line that is competitive in the marketplace both here and across a wider spectrum of purchasers..." note that's fairly specific in what it is useless for. May I ask, specifically, why you disagree, sir? I've been doing statistical sales breakdowns for a very long time, and if your points can be used to improve that, I am very willing to listen (and ya know I is ;)) And I know it is the best you can provide, Clint. I'm just noting that as a measure re: the gist of what's being asked, it was a bit of promotional fluff. Then again, that's why it exists. There is other information that you could provide (I've mentioned it before in a place I cannot enter) that is statistically more useful, however, and does not cross those lines of who sells what and how much.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
