>From the beginning a majority of people agreed that net releases to them were worldwide. Currently we have worldwide and I feel we should use it as such, if at another time someone chooses to press for "net release" instead of world wide, great. Then we can shift to "net release".

In an effort to get this sorted once and for all, may I propose that we agree to show net releases as "worldwide" where other information is not immediately forthcoming. Already we have started the process of bringing extraneous matters into this discussion and, to my mind, this is the way in which we lose sight of the main objective.
