[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again. I just wonder if there's something symbolic about it being below 8. In reality it's marginal but may seem like more? [/quote] You mean, for the same reasons that retailers price things at $9.98 instead of $10.00? Yeah, that makes sense. It does seem cheerier, even though I agree with Jeff that the scale of the increase is still much lower than you'd hope. [/quote] Exactly what I mean. We'd like better--the change isn't actually much, but it seems like "yay we're below 8% for the first time in almost 4 years!" I'm just thinking purely psychologically--the numbers have started with 8 and 9 for nearly 4 years. Now we're in the 7s. That sort of perception. [/quote]
