        huh, I don't see anything at bom saying they adjust anything; and they're used as a source all over the place. -- nm - b. Jan 19, 15:30 4
        
        bruce at the-numbers shows similar to bom, says the numbers are from distributors; but that probably wasn't the case for the early ones. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 19, 15:32 3
        
        Speaking as the original source on some of this, I went into the archives of magazines and collated what I could. - David Jan 19, 15:35
        
        I have very little trust in much that's reported before 1988 or so. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 15:33 1
        
        oh yah, I'm just wondering how the numbers are so different from the variety list mick. linked. -- nm - b. Jan 19, 15:37
