Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
“We agree that Greaney calculated properly the rate that survived all existing 30-year historical time-periods.”
Which is why you need to stop calling on Greaney to correct his study and start going about the business of calculating the different calculation that you think needs be be performed.
Over the course of the past 19 years, there have been thousands of community members who have expressed a desire to engage in discussions aimed at identifying the best number. This is an issue that affects everyone alive in the United States. So everyone alive in the United States should be wishing that such discussions happen and that they are successful. Are you willing to join me in doing everything in your power to see that such discussions move forward?
