Why are we talking about 2001 and 2002? Did I miss something? Isn't this 2012? What are the statistics now?

Won't have them until next year unfortunately, the most up-to-date would be the 2011 info, not sure anyone compiles them until the following year.

Well, that's actually what I meant, my bad. I've got 2012 on the mind thanks to the recent media bombardment. I meant 2011 for recent but all I see is tons of stats for 2001 and 2002. If they have 2011 stats someone cliff's notes it for me, would ya? Otherwise it seems like we're discussing shit from 2001 when times were MUCH different.
