statistics. I don't understand what the payoff would be to manipulate
them on purpose.
I admit when talking about numbers and stats I tend to have bouts of

Sorry about that. Didn't mean for my paranoia to be catching ...

I am just looking about for means to double check these figures.
Supposed to work that way, I think, we should be looking over the gov'ts
shoulder--just to keep 'em honest, mind you!

The reason why they would skew figures? I really can't point a finger
at anything.

Like I say, I remember when YOU COULD trust your gov't, times have
changed ...

Warmest regards,
