Oops! That link is deader than a doorknob. DCH This paper does a lot to support Pearse's contention that instability was more valuable than stability for growth in numbers: http://gmir.ru/ecclesia/word/Christian%20Number%20and%20Its%20Implications.doc To judge by the literary output of the second ce...

I suppose we could distinguish between tables that would be instructive to the curious amateur and those that would be helpful to someone with an anal predisposition to nit pick and look deeply into things (like me).

DCH PS: Isn't Plooij that stuff the dog leaves on the carpet if no one lets her out in a timely manner after...
