that was my rant...I see basically that same argument here every week. It is annoying that every week 17 people bring up how Walmart isn't included (as though it's news) and declare that, therefore, the Nielsen ratings are meaningless. The argument is stupid because (a) it is old news, and (b) statistics, as I had "Any1" point out, work just fine even when you leave out a few people's favorite retailer.
Yes, I wasted space in typing that there....but if it at least prevents commenters from repeatedly bringing up and debating the WalMart issue below, then I saved space in the end.
