That's the perennial problem with statistics, isn't it? I personally put more store in long periods of statistical data as a way of understanding long term trends than as a way of understanding immediate "short-period" phenomena, anyway. As always, we'll understand the times we're living in now a whole lot better a few years from now.

Thanks for trying, and thanks for hanging in there on this thread.
