I was asked last year to write a follow up to my '95 article but I've 
been holding off for a number of reasons including ethical concerns 
regarding collective contributions by list members (I wasn't on any 
list at the time I wrote the original), incomplete data and 
modelling, the matter of opinion vs fact, and several other concerns.

     My personal feeling is that a definitive (once and for all) 
article should be sent to a refereed and authoritative publication 
with collective acknowledgement and the proceeds go to maintenance of 
the hardware and software supporting the list. I think its too early 
to publish yet. What do others think?
