I simply find it all funny at this point.

Anyway ... the clap wasn't self-congratulatory. It was a tougue-in-cheek thanks for the entertainment!
And yet the press release included a quote for US sales which I used in my original quote. The reason I did so is because my experience is in the US market and I knew sources to look into (I worked for 2 years at Dealertrack in their Digital Retailing unit).

Using the US data had nothing to do with 'Murica, it's just what I knew.

And yes, thanks for the entertainment too

Just so the electrified ether's clear: I wasn't lumping you in with the knuckleheads, Outlaw M3. I was using your post to reinforce my statement about said knuckleheads. Apologies if my diatribe didn't make that distinction well.
