Sorry, but I am standing firm. Whether anyone here likes it or not the facts stand. It isn't going by how people "feel" it is numbers which can't be argued with.

My next post is going to be GDP by metro area, I'll enjoy watching people say that I am incorrect when they are flying stridently against the facts.
Keep standing firm Imelda...I tried to help you understand, but you continue to revel in embarassing yourself. Several people have explained this to you, and you have chosen to ignore the explanations.

And thanks for hijacking the thread. This WAS an interesting thread for the first few pages. Now it's dead.

Ohh yeah the part where I listed population and only population

Which is what I've been talking about population and only population within defined city limits

My original post proves that I have been talking solely about population within defined city limits it clearly states City Proper

Several people have been talking about metro areas, cities with a small geographic foot print versus a large geographic foot print, etc

I have been talking solely about city proper populations

And the responses have been that city proper populations aren't a good way to determine the size of a city. Learn from this, and move on.

What is this for? I'll tell you, I've run into some stubborn folks on this site, but you take the prize. I have never encountered someone who continues to argue his case for THIS long after the error of his logic has been explained to him in very clear terms. Congratulations.

So GDP doesn't count as a way to define a "big" city? What about public transit? Population density?. Clearly a new listing post is made to change the topic since I stand alone in the arena ranking cities based on their population within city limits.

You seriously think GDP doesn't matter?

I have not been rude at all to you...I've politely disagreed with you, and that's it. I am the rudest person you've met in all of your 3 days on this site? That's funny...You really are defensive aren't you?

Please refrain from personal attacks. They aren't allowed on city-data.

Yes you are, you are trying to get arguments started for no apparent reason. Now you are questioning the listing of metro areas based on GDP! Surely GDP matters just a little with regards to a metro areas size and whether or not it is defined as "big"

If you want to continue this go ahead and do it via PM
