   Go on then. If it's so trivial, why don't you do it?   
      
   Show us with step by step instructions how many *people* - as you claim -   
   moved to FL from CA in the last six months.   
      
   You have a week. If you can't then I call bullshit.   
      
   I know what will happen, however. You won't even try. You will cry, shout   
   and stomp your feet blaming everyone else apart from yourself. Just like a   
   big baby.   
      
   You'll not hear from me until next week so as to not direct you from this   
   important privacy risk study.
