Now that LMT madness is finished (leaving me with extra time on my hands),
I made a quick attempt to compare the "great" threads,

The numbers are a bit different than I might have guessed from memory.

I am still amazed....
Millions of "promotional" $$$ distributed by this channel,
all in a fair and orderly manner.
