informative to consider the totals of the two classes,

What? No smart-arse replies from Babbling Brucie about amateur radio
being "dumbed down"?

Who CHECKS YOUR WORK?

From which website did you obtain this "figures?"

How do you KNOW that all those in the grace period
have NOT renewed?

Without CHECKING those "figures" they would not
be ACCURATE. [very UNprofessional!]

WHY is it "informative" that you must continue to do
the "Speroni Stats" maneuver to "lump" the Technician
classes together?

Tsk, tsk, tsk...quite a "track record of mistakes there..."

So, from which website did Jimmie CRIB these numbers?

Does Jimmie know there are OTHER websites with this
information? Jimmie hasn't given those.

Does Jimmie download the FCC database and do his own
sorting and tabulating? If so, he hasn't shown his
work or allowed visibility into the source code of
his sorting-tabulating program.

If these numbers are taken from OTHER sources, Jimmie
should state that source in order to be accurate. Why
is Jimmie HIDING the source of his information?
