The hard statistics aren't available and would be hard (impossible) to determine accurately because of all that's been said above.

The thrust of the discussion was whether this BB has a bias toward those who believe (or have no choice) a D. The good news is that there are different views as everyone's sitch is different and so it is best to read all the threaded with a completely open mind and keep it open as your own sitch is completely different to everyone else; albeit with a few parallels perhaps

Everyone should apply the DB philosophy with equal determination and intent as there is a light at the end of the tunnel. How long the tunnel is and whether it's ultimately worth keeping going along it is up to everyone to decide, just don't be swayed by the seeming majority on this BB who are struggling and perhaps of the mindset, so need validation, to give up and accept a D.

Not trying to make enemies here, rather suggesting everyone keep on their toes and in their own sitch rather than be led by others sitch too much.

Does this make any sense, I am a bit of a intellectualiser (is that a real word?) so can get very deep into things and need to lighten up a bit.
