The numbers game: Diamond's Top 300 list for February is out, but Newsarama isn't estimating sales numbers this time around, noting that "Newsarama is currently reevaluating its estimation methods, and will not be providing an estimated number of copies shipped at this time."

In the comments section, gossip maven Rich Johnston asks about the change: "The change in sales reporting methods... Newsarama's figures are aften significantly higher than ICV2's. Is the change a result of this discrepancy? Is the reality half-way between the two?"

Newsarama's Matt Brady responds, in part: "nah - more of a deal where the time to do them was eating into too much other stuff for now. And I always thought ICV2's were aften significantly lower than Newsarama's. ... But I'm thining that explanation won't stop some lurid, suggestive version from showing up in your next column. But hey - while we're lurid and suggestive, let's just say that I've arranged for a cleaning woman to come by the office every month on the same day the Diamond numbers come out, and I'm too distracted by her French Maid outfit to do any math at all."
