   If it does, it means the quoted number is even worse. :-(   
      
   If anyone from VSI is reading this, could you have a word with your   
   marketing people and get them to fix this ? A stagnant number from   
   one month after launch is not what you want to be seeing 6 months later.   
      
   Also, please remind them that if they continue to publish a number there,   
   it needs to be updated on a regular basis.   
      
   Thanks,   
      
   Simon.
