If the jibe was aimed at me - behave - you nearly ruined a helpful post.
Thank you for explaining that likely be registrar counting etc - obvious upon reflection but we missed it - helpful
Re the 'scam' issue - come on - you know as well as we all do the term on forums is used loosely. The saying ' all that evil needs to succeed is for decent men to stand by and do nothing' is opportune. If Hurr give ERCE, PwC et all data and narrow instructions, companies are going to produce a report within their narrow remits. They could say - hang on, Hurr, it's just your data and our remit is too narrow, but they don't. A single example - PwC forward curve figures based on oil futures prices is a nonsense -a futures price is a figure which you can buy at to sell in future to make a profit, having tied your money up for yonks, it aint the expected actual price of oil. As for citing (even Maris was embarrassed saying it) that this was standard industry practice for estimating the future oil price - utter nonsense. So apply 'careful balance' when you shoot peeps down for brushstroke shouting 'scam'. Their application of the word is meaning that their is systemic manipulation of truth. By the yardstick you apply, no German should ever have felt any guilt at voting Hitler in and causing the death of circa 50-60 mill people one way or t'other
