Greetings dear Scot,
Here are some stats why your request fell on deaf ears. As you will see,
it is just not done on internet. It is a taboo!
I have used Google's advanced search engine and began to look for how many
hits the name Scott will give -- 12+ million! So I began to prune the hits
by adding keyword for key word to it as shown. Finally I put in the second
window (exact phrase) the the requirement "statistical detail".
Scott -- 12 400 000
Scott fun -- 1 070 000
Scott fun statistics -- 73 200
Scott fun statistics people -- 46 900
Scott fun statistics people organisations --1 630
Scott fun statistics people organisations "statistical detail" 2.
You are lucky to get so many hits -- 2 to be precise. It shows what one
can do with stats! ... grin ...
Even here the 2 hits are wrong since if the word "fundamental" is
hyphenated into "fun-damental", Google's spiders will pick up the fun as
"fun" and not as "fundamental". So much for stats.
With care and best wishes,
