I'll leave that to expert commentators such as Aubrey.

I'll charitably assume an implied smiley at the end of that remark. But if
you actually did find my citation of your comment `rude', I apologise.
Is there a difference between 220+ and 300? Yes, a difference of nearly 30
percent. I find that interesting and encouraging, but it also means that the
rate of division hasn't somehow slowed over the last year. (The number of
divisions mid-year was at about 180).
