#43, I’ve redone other Google News searches originally done in 2007 in Google News’s Archives, and found reductions in the number of results returned of 85%-90% from the originals.

Applying that result to the search in question, that would mean that if I had done the search indicated contemporaneously in 2007, I would have obtained between 1,720 and 2,580 items (258 divided by .15 and .10, respectively). That’s between triple and quintuple the 2009 count of 516 unique items. The midpoint is 2,150 (i.e., “thousands”).

Now you have two comments that are the equivalents of white flags, accompanied by more of the usual name-calling, gratuitous insults, and immature childishness. Thanks for the support. :–>

You’re the one who is either having a couple of off days, or is in wayyyyy over his/her head.
