Stick to the ROSEA and you have good decent data to work with.
They're more up to date than the ESPC (ESPC latest release Nov, ROSEA latest DeC) and cover more sales.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Oh dear, Lite does appear to have missed the concept of what a lagging indicator is.
And could this be the same lite who only posts ago stated that he wasn't compelled to ignore statistics simply because he didn't like what they were saying.

I've not known you long but can envisage you've been saying that for the last 5 years.
Nevermind, stopped clock and all that, you might get a glimmer of satisfaction some quarter in the future.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I'm sure theres a point in there somewhere, but I can't see it beyond the grumbling sour grapes of a clown who realises he's lost the argument.
Never mind Lite. Theres always the mindless attrition method favoured by trolls and idiots everywhere.

It seems quite clear the facts don't match up with what you are saying.
Maybe you think the "Mean" average is skewed and we should be looking at the median average.

Nope. I've been more than happy to discuss the issues, and a brief glimpse back through this thread confirms I have done.

See you around darling.
Like I've said before, I've no idea why you cared soooo very much about one single person in a single city
But its certainly been fun watching an imbecile like yourself
i) near instantly becoming a comedy stereotype with not a shred of self awareness
ii) banging your head on a brick wall by launching into extended variations of whats obviously an already failed attack.
But hey, I guess the heart wants what the heart wants. :kisses:

So long as they're just your facts, right lite.
It's not my facts, it's facts I've linked that can be verified by anyone.
P.S. still waiting for you to post a link or facts to discussConsider yourself whupped.
Ok, I'm "whupped" by someone not willing to discuss facts, post links or have a mature debate.

That's your most worthless flounce to date. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Putting aside the smokescreens and familiar discredited assertions,
on the subject of "mature debate" perhaps you can enlighten us
as to why the salient issue (and there was one back in the day) matters so very much to you.
Its not because your a stereotypical embittered nut-job is it?0 -

I simply prefer to link facts instead of subdiffusion so it's clear to anyone reading the forum to make their own minds up.
You'll have seen I back up posts with facts and links for others to delve into the details should they wish.
Now, do you wish to make a point on any of the links / facts I posted or do you wish to make your own point / fact / link?:wall:
