  You're arguing with the wrong person in the wrong place. It got flagged, learn from it. Sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it. If you think this is of interest then write a post explaining why, and include the data as part of the post, don't just submit raw data and expect everyone instantly to agree that it's interesting and of value. I think I've pretty much said everything I have to say on the subject now. If you have a question or comment that isn't already answered in one of my other comments, fine, but otherwise I won't repeat myself further. To quote Samuel Johnson: "Sir, I have found you an argument; but I am not obliged to find you an understanding."

    >don't just submit raw data and expect everyone instantly to agree that it's interesting and of value. It was of value. People were taking action over the data. You may not be looking to start a business, or do projects: (To quote you from earlier) "And if I were starting a business again..." But a lot of people on here are. And the very people who needed the data the most had it taken away from them.
