Understood. But as I suspected, there was a disconnect between the alleged *rigging* of data announcements--which I disagreed with-- and your perfectly valid explanation of policy decisions that are made, out in the open for people to see, about collecting the data.

After a certain number of years of surfing the Internet and seeing people ranting and raving that the government is all crooked, the government lies to people, and today, that the unemployment figures were rigged, I had to speak up.

There really aren't little green men hiding behind doors performing voodoo on the data. And there isn't someone telling BLS that on this particular day or another day, they should "spin" the numbers a certain way. That's all I meant.

Enuff said on the subject, for now and by me, at least. Maybe we all learned something. I did. Thanks.
