I don't know what the other RT readers think of these stats, but I personally couldn't
take them seriously unless I know the absolute numbers, and not only the percentages. I
tried to generate such stats some months ago by posting inquiry articles in investment
newsgroups, and was indeed able to have similar percentages; but they were pulled out of
only some dozens people (20-30): that is not enough to make the stat reliable.
I have nothing against an RT commercial reader posting this along with its URL as
long as the information is relevant.So I would appreciate knowing exactly HOW MUCH people
we are speaking of...
