likely is, then narrow to those who regularly use it (they say they have tens of millions of users worldwide; but, when last I checked, they will not release active numberrs).

I know so many people who use it periodically or used it for a while then stopped. that's likely true for a whole lot of users.

add-in variables like how was the weather in other cities last year? combine that with that the holiday last year was on a wednesday and many more people stayed near home vs. when it falls on or near weekends, and if there aren't any of those places nearby? and and and.

silly.

note: that's 30M users worldwide, not just US. heh. -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:25
True. But I will say that I still like these lists. I enjoy the guessing and discussion afterwards. -- nm - Krusty Jul 3, 13:24 1
- I appreciate that, I just like more scientific unless it's something that's just polled. -- nm - b. Jul 3, 13:31
