Not that I remember. But *I* said it wasn't very good. As I recall, it
used daily numbers where a week's average would be better, and worst
case where actual would be better. It also had built-in math errors
because the nitwit doesn't understand some basic concepts. And the
proof is in the pudding - George himself has blamed that spreadsheet
for some of the GIGO he's posted here. I think the reason he only
makes it available by email is the same reason he never allowed his
"book" to be reviewed - because he thinks that limited viewing will
lessen the opportunity for criticism. The strategy doesn't seem to be
working very well, these two sites seem to expand every time he
attacks someone.

Having gazed at my emai... er, crystal ball, I predict that Bill B.
will be here shortly to tell us he's made another update. :-)

I don't see why you're surprised, he can't even keep track of his
claims about his *own* place. Not that he'll admit to any dissembling.
For example, according to him, 20 liters of fuel per fortnight and 20
liters per week are somehow *both* correct!
