Like yourself only earlier in this thread? You were trying to make a point that the loss of population between 2000 and 2010 was a first in an attempt to note that Detroit was in decline as opposed to long-term stagnation...

Uh... go through this thread again. YOU are the first one to bring metro data into discussion when you posted your errant metro population data above. My one contribution to the thread up to that point was in response to someone asking for pictures of urban areas in the region. Up to now, every other post I made was specific to the city.
but whatever...
