Hey there **JLBirkeland** , welcome to the SDMB. Just letting you know that this kind of question is better suited for GQ (General Questions). ATMB is for questions about the boards themselves. You can just ask a mod to move this thread or ask them to close it and then after re-ask the question in GQ. ---

I suppose your chances of meeting the _Head of Statistics_ of the **American Snot Research Institute** are somewhat bigger in **General Questions**. Off you go.
