Starting to filter all email coming from the linkedin domain into its own folder was usefu as it is so awfully close to spam.

Ack. Can you provide updated charts? Re-regressing / averaging over earlier periods may bias in favor of now stale results. ♻ @gappy3000
But it is probably worth a proper write-up of a few pages, Maybe you get it into a practioner journal. Happy to proofread. ♻ @gappy3000:
I did, and I don't think you "debunk" just by switching to a series you like better. ♻ @gappy3000: @eddelbuettel @probablepattern @mmanti
