Yep. I know I've told the tale here of my grandfather describing how, over the period of his serving in his town's volunteer fire department, calls went up something like over 100x, while actual fire calls plummeted.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
