Greg (mostly) and Brian please stop flaming each other in public.

And Greg, if you think a 30% sample (or even 2%) isn't enough to be
accurate then you need to talk to some of the opinion sampling
companies (Gallup, Arbitron etc.)  Arbitron, an appropriate choice, has
only 1500 (yes fifteen hundred) of their boxes attached to TV sets
nationwide to measure the ratings.  That's 1500 out of 100 million (in
that magnitude anyway) TV households.  That's a 0.0015% sample.

Why does everyone have to knock anything constructive that someone
does?  (rhetorical question; no replies thanks.)  It's part
of the appallingly negative attitude that is so prevalent.
