Congratulations, but I don't think this had to be illustrated in this way.

No, it is not, I just don't have the exaxt numbers.
Let me just quote Mike on this :

And to keep my reply short, I just 100% agree with what Larry wrote.

Who are you to request that this be taken off list ? I would agree if the list
mom would ask (not request) this. Remember, you started this thread in the
first
place. Having your say, and then again, but then requesting that everyone else
should shut up gives me the impression of ultimate arrogance.
Having said that, it's over and out for me on this subject anyway, it's a waste
of time, effort and list bandwith, at least there we possibly agree.
