So when are you actually going to back this magic 15% up with a real reference, from your "multiple sources"? This is the fourth time I've asked now, and you've pointed to ONE article, which had no print run size. In effect, making percentages useless as there was no sense of proportion.
Do you actually have any facts, or do you just like pretending that what you say is the truth?
