i understand t...saw that he posted it... congrats.<br /><br />i understand the confusion they may have had until your first explanation. after that, i think it isn't specifically that they don't "get it", but that they are too lazy to put in the needed 2 minutes to "get it".Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946497592651234440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11027528911364475.post-23393926637224969382010-02-15T18:19:30.669-08:002010-02-15T18:19:30.669-08:00Gad - you give such good data.
How's your sen...Gad - you give such good data.<br /><br />How's your sense of humor working btw? Barry put up some charts of mine with a corner cutting cheat sheet relating YoY changes in Sales, GDP, etc. A poor man's pocket econonidicator and forecaster (print it and take it wonk parties). The comments are a riot - tried 3x to explain YoY and not getting thru.<br /><br />Can we do gene pool sampling distributions for folks who look at your charts and get it? :)dblwyonoreply@blogger.com
