<g>  Good try.  Let's pretend we don't get the point of the e-mail.  Isn't 
working.  You cherry picked the stats you wanted to mold to your argument. 
I simply provided the balance of the stats with an equally ridiculous 
outcome to point out how silly your twisting of stats is and that folks 
aren't as dumb as you think they are when you go off on one of your 
pontificating rants--I sit on high, I am all knowing, I will talk down to 
the unwashed masses who are not as enlightened as I am.
