facts and figures

You might be surprised how much factual information can be found on this blog. There are numbers, of course, and the information receved is mostly of a confirmatory nature, or an explanatory nature, where it explains the numbers already known and how those numbers were derived. Numbers that seem out of bounds or implausible are checked against other known numbers for accuracy. Its amazingly simple to do and opens up avenues of information that were previously unknown, sometimes. For instance, it may be that those 6 Springs kids on the MDAC swim team may not even be 6at some times in the past; could be less, considerably less, close to, or even zero, at times. A LOT of the information received here in the past, especially regarding the pool operations, has been remarkably accurate, and corroborated by the numbers and information available now. The Internet and the Freedom of Information requests can be incredible sources of accurate information, especially about local events.
