I was merely reacting to your post where you spent the time to calculate the fraction of the population that showed up to an event. 
"that is .001% of the population ?"
"Why is everybody so obsessed with numbers ?"

Ugh, now you've made me actually consider your math. 150 people out of the Eugene population of 150,000 is 1 in 1,000. 1% is 1 in 100. So this is 0.1% of the population, not .001%.
