Not to belabor the point, but I don't know where this is coming from because I never used any figures like 14800% or 4800% or "148 times". I said two things, both of which were correct: 1. Yahoo's share is 148% of MS's share 2. Yahoo's share is 48% higher than MS's share The formula I gave was Yahoo/MS*100, which yields the correct result as a percentage, i.e., 148%. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
