I don't remember exactly, but CI's more rapid growth dates roughly, I think, from the initiation of our web site. Extrapolations are very chancy. Web use is growing, but competition for attention may be growing even faster. Our current growth rate continues good, however, and our thesis becomes ever more credible. In any event, we just do what we can and keep trying to do better.
