I'd like to think that everyone that wrote a letter to the paper had an effect on this. I think that's great.
I think a big Huzzah to the forum for it's part in that.

ba doop psh! *cymbal hit*

anyway, it says right thar, currently active. and then it says cumulative suspended, and all that jazz.
if you let it expire, and don't renew, it's not currently active.
maybe if someone wants to go through and add all the county numbers, well, they could.
maybe the AP meant in that particular area, or group of counties.
I mean, if you counted Dallas county, that's 20,000+, and Denton County, there's another 6400, so if you were adding up like, the DFW area, for instatnce, it could be something like 72,000.
if they were talking about Austin, and the surrounding counties, or H-town, and the surrounding counties, well, that could easily be 72,000.
even if the numbers were cumulative from the beginning of time, hasn't the CHL only been around for, what, 10-12 years? that means only a few people have had to renew a couple of times, most, probably not at all!

they're reporters. if you tell'em something, they believe it. can't expect them to actually follow up on something, can you??
