      I don’t have their numbers, but this isn’t the first place I’ve seen similar quoted. First one I found through some friends’ discussion was this, which puts us, at a quick glance, at around a third of last year’s total(still plenty bad).

        That’s not a source. That’s a ‘go do your research with a search and figure out what sources to look at’.

        I wanted to know what they read and to read it myself.

          …that’s a source. He named the sources, which by definition isn’t source.

          I think you’re just salty that you think you’re entitled to have your hand held to it? He sourced his claim, it’s not his responsibility to satiate your desire for a link.
