Tony,

I like the ethno answer. I wasn't trying to rope you into the time line,
just wondered if you had any ideas. You're doing enough already.

1. Ethno - no thanks. I can't believe I read the
whole thing.

2. Timeline. The problem is the explosive increase
in the number of fields and the number of achievements.
It becomes more like a timetree. (I recently tried to
read "A History of the World." Everything was made sense
until the 18th century, and then it was hopeless.) Also
I don't like projects where you have to classify people
who are still around. Anyway please count me out.

Tony
