So on one hand, you say that things are not fine. But on the other hand, you are saying that things are not bad.

You are riding the fence and have no position at all.

Bottom line, stats CAN be manipulated. Practical experience shows us that. But everybody has an opinion. Whether they want to stick it on the chopping block is another story. FWIW, I think there are a lot of folks who are worried, scared, or simply have an opinion that goes against the grain but are afraid from stating those feelings publically.


>I don't totally agree with that. Many people will say that statistics don't lie, yet statistics can be manipulated to mean anything you want.

Even here, you qualify how you agree. You agree, sort of..

I have said this before, but I have often classified you as the perpetual pine ridder. If it is the politically correct thing to say or do, you will do it and try and please everybody. That is the willy, nilly, spineless jellyfish school of thought.

Don't get me wrong Craig, I think you are a good guy and a nice person. I don't want to lose sight of that. But for crying out loud, if you have an opinion, say it, even if it means that you totally disagree with me. At least you are taking a stand.
