Hi Dave! With the greatest respect for you, Dave, you are correct but correct doesn't get it here. We are not really in a professional discussion, but rather we are trying to make "sales". In sales, the biggest lie wins, but since we are also professionals, the lie has to be correct. To make a correct lie, you have to have lots and lots of data. In a way we aren't talking about the same thing, I know. Oh, yeah. Doing correct techniques as you outline would cost more than just using the computer and the web to gather 20 million records. >Any correctly taken statistical sample if done with the correct techniques >and "confidence values" will yield a correct result within a set >of "confidence limits" which are detarmined by well founded mathematical >formulae. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
