I'm too weary of this to argue anything else. I may spend a few hours up at DRF going through past data....if not this week then soon.

Interesting about NY. Didn't realize that.

If you do get into the past data, I'll be very interested in how it comes out.

Also...

I should have written "the average loss to breakage...", not "the average breakage...". But the percentages are correct, except that the NY cost should be the same as the KY/CA tracks for place payoffs above $10.
