I really like the addition of the previous day's stat in parentheses, but I find it a little confusing that the previous day's stat comes first. When I read a sentence like "We increased our share to (9.4605535%) 9.4627468% of all votes ever cast, and climbing", every single day my first reaction is to look at the first number, compare it with what I remember from the day before and think "that didn't go up much... oh wait, it's the second number I should be looking at".

Have you considered writing it as "We increased our share to 9.4627468% (9.4605535%) of all votes ever cast, and climbing"?

Wow. We multiplied our numbers almost exactly by ten in a year. 43,200 to 432,000

Also - thanks Ray . If anyone thinks that putting the prior number second would more confusing, please do speak up. If I'm in a minority finding it confusing the way it is now, don't make no sense to change it.

Welcome Laurelton! About vumpin' time you showed up

If you've got something you'd like to say, and can figure a way to substitute 'vump' or 'bote' into your sentence, it makes the day go by a bit faster & occasionally brings a bit of cheer to folk. That and it helps avoid posts that say nothing other than

vump

'Cause, well, that gets boring pretty quick if it's repeated too often. You're smart, you'll catch on.

Morning is coming soon. I'd best go pass out for a bit.
