• Hi - We're having intermittent forum issues. Posts, alerts, and anything involving email like signing up or password changes are having problems but not for everyone or everywhere. Josh is working on it. No ETA right now. Thanks Josh - BTW this is a volunteer forum so SLA's are just best effort. EDIT -> I manually batch updated about 25 people stuck on the email notification. Try logging in now with your password. EDIT -> May 8/23. I updated another bunch of users stuck on email notifications. Try to login if you are stuck. If you really can't get in contact us on facebook or if you know a forum member get them to ask us.

As a side note. Statistics are a lot like Bikinis! What they reveal may be fascinating, but what they conceal, could well be critical!

I once aspired to specialize in statistics. I took several post graduate courses in stats. I've never heard this quote. I LOVE IT.

The more common quote is: There are lies, damn lies, and then statistics.

I love to read conclusions based on statistics...... and then rip them to shreds.

Welcome!

Not sure where or when I picked that one up, it was not my invention, but it was a 'real' enough statement that it stuck in my head, over the years. Esp. in regard to statistics of any kind, being manipulated to show what is wanted, rather than what is true.
