This is only true if you define "average" as "median", or
something close to it.
Most people mean "mean" by "average".
So the above-quoted statement has "issues with correctness".

Learn to post a correctly structured response to a post, including the
Subject.

Seemed reasonably well structured to me. Bottom-posted, end everythink.
Anyway, lighten up guys, it was just a joke! This is a good-humoured
group for the most part, and you've got to expect the odd tongue-in-cheek
post, especially from me!

Cheers,
