I think the problem is that you've used "count" as the loop variable

for the "count" that you intend as an aggregate function name.  Use a
different name for the loop variable.

Do your company's lawyers really expect anyone to take this seriously in
a message sent to a public mailing list?  Perhaps I shall call that
number and tell them they look like utter fools.
