- I want to express my deep appreciation to those people who gave me enough significant feedback on earlier versions of this paper to prevent me from rushing into print with more, and more important, errors than the present version still contains. Among these, Katie Faust, Sue Freeman, Timlynn Babitsky, Mike Migalski and Tom Nelson are outstanding.
