I wanna know where that figure came from before I can believe it.

Don't you think they would try to track things like that?

I would think so, but I recall that Brad Justus once said that they weren't
tracking that.  It surprised me.  He also said that the figures quoted in
the Orange County article a few months ago were off by a large margin -- the
reporter had wrong info.


That number is probably based on tracking data from their own stores and
S@H since that's the only place they could easially do it.

I suppose that would be a good way for them to artificially skew the numbers
upward if they wanted to present that image.  But look at the numbers:  1 in
10 in the U.S. would imply hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of AFOLs
in the U.S.   I'm saying I'd really hafta know where the figure of 10% came
from, and how they did all the accounting, before I could believe it in terms
of what we all want and hope it to really mean.
