Actually hon, the projected figure above totals 6,638,349 (unless I'm doing it wrong). So that means if you take the projected figure for 2006 (6,638,349) and subtract the average no. of publishers (6,491,775), there appears to be nearly 150,000 people who are missing from the ranks....146,574 to be exact.
