Oi, that's even *more* crazy. Listen, Peter, I wasn't trying to attack you as a person, but instead point out the wackiness of your numbers and the fact that we as readers have no way to evaluate your claims. I'm not arguing the validity of Forrester's business model (which I think is fine) but instead the fact the you're not backing up your claims, or if you are it's somewhere that substantially less than 6% of US online adults can see it. As for what the real numbers are, I don't really care. And I don't feel any need to show any proof because I'm not making outlandish claims.

The report is client-access only because the company I work for makes money by providing data and advice to clients. As you so boldly claim, if the number is not 6% then what is it? And where is your proof? “Adults” defined as 18+ who report going online monthly. The report is client-access only because the company I work for makes money by providing data and advice to clients.
