Robo,
perhaps you could put forth your newfound info in application:

You say the answer of
"the issue of whether MA loses a $mil a year/does the grey text count, has been answered directly by the AMA comptroller"
Well,
if we are to stop saying MA is $2mil spent & $1mil Ads Reveue In = $1mil Loss ( by the anual report),
what are you putting in its place? What numbers are you wanting us to use to express MA operations given the new info?
MA Ops: $2.2mil Direct Costs out + $1mil AdRev In + $XXmil Gray18 MemberSubscription Xfer = $??mil MA profit
what do you want us to put in there now for $XXmil Gray18 MemberSubscription Xfer?


(its ok if you dont have an exact amount,
just ballpark it for now,
like "$1.8mil (18x100kguys)" or whatever you figure it to be)
