He is already in the low 70s and dropping rapidly." . . . I'm a bit disappointed . . . what of a clause regarding your statement above . . . the mention percentages . . . percentages of what? What people? How many? From where? Actually, this is just a thorn in my side . . . for as long as I can remember people cite percentages (in presentations, papers, articles, research, broadcasts, etc.) . . . and it's been my experience that the majority just tend to nod their heads in agreement and apparently that means the statement is correct. Kinda like THE WALL when the children were on the conveyor belt into the grinder. In reality, what do percentages mean? Without reference and factual supporting information percentages aren't jack sh*t, no? 70% of 100 folks is much different than 70% of 1,000,000 folks! -kinda hoping that folks are thinking for themselves out there- farmerdude http://www.crazytrain.com/ ------------------------ Yahoo!
