Hey Joe! It's good to hear from you! As always, you misconstrue my
comments. I suppose if I said that the sky was blue, you'd take it as an
insult against air.

But back on topic, you and I both know that there are numerous flaws in
TIOBE's method. First, finding a search query that returns an accurate
count of RPG related web pages while avoiding false positives is fraught
with difficulty. Second, TIOBE has no control over the pages that Google
decides to index. Basically, the numbers you get for RPG fall well
within the error bars.

Is pointing this out "anti-RPG rhetoric"? Get real, Joe! What's really
telling is how much value people like you are putting into such
meaningless numbers. Is there really so little good news for RPG that
you're willing to jump on such flaky data?

Cheers! Hans
