The idea of a 'winner' in an internet debate about whether something is a chart or a graph is a quant little concept.

I'm only [STRIKE]refereeing[/STRIKE] stirring. It was news to me, but it makes you think. If something you believe (ie. it's a graph), can be argued against for several pages then how much are your other opinions worth?

Whilst we're on the topic of fantasy buttons, I'd like a 'Generali' button. You hit it and it comes up with random intellectual quotes:

"I think you'll find that it was the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947 that caused the great depression of India, rather than the oft-quoted Invasion of Goa in 1961."

"Toodle pip old bean."

Why not just two big buttons - a Chucky one and a Graham one. Then we can just bash them and watch some graphic showing the number of hits? First to a hundred wins and then the next round starts.

I think there should be a special button just for this forum called the graph button, and when you press it you either get:

Why's the graph 10 months out of date?

Never mind, nobody agreed with my possibly pompous thoughts on another thread last night but the putdowns attracted many thanks

Because August 2008 is my favourite ' blue / red classic BBC house price graph' month. I've got that particular month framed on my bedroom wall. Classic.
