We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

I don't even know why they'd bother to teach more than 10 x 10. As long as you have the single-digit tables down, you can multiply anything by anything.
