With all due respect Bill, it is not quite as easy to produce a
set of customer reassignment data as you would think, and there
are ways of spot checking individual entries short of directly
contacting them. You should be able to infer some of them; I'd
rather not directly outline how to fabricate the appropriate
external supporting data. You may be able to add reassignments
which aren't caught in spot checking, but you'd find it difficult
to create quantities of believable customers sufficient to move
your utilization in a major way.
