Paul Higgins: Fair point Tom but I believe that the detailed data provided and the perspective compared to today are important. We would certainly not recommend that people take a post on face value if they are going to use the data or information to form an informed opinion or take some sort of action. Having said that it is clear to me now that we should have noted the dates when we posted - I will adjust the existing post. Thanks for commenting

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
